Male Hatchling
Name: unnamed
Species: Dire Trufwolf
Birthday: Sunday, October 24, 2021
Owner: Inari
Element: Neutral 
Your chocolate truffle has hatched into a cute little wolf pup that smells every bit as sweet as the candy did. Its disposition is every bit as sweet as it smells, always curling up in your lap for pets, and bringing you your things when asked... except you're pretty sure it also hides your shoes, socks, and other odds and ends whenever your back is turned, and everything it fetches for you is always covered in drool. It also sheds all over the place, turning your clothes and your room into a constantly sticky, chocolate-y mess. You've learned an endless array of cleaning and anti-staining spells as a result, and you suspect you'll never stop needing them as long as your trufwolf is nearby.
It's unclear how dire trufwolves came to be - they hatch from eggs that are indistinguishable from chocolate truffles, and look and smell as if they are made from chocolate despite feeling soft and fluffy just like other wolves. These traits lead to speculation that dire trufwolves are created rather than a naturally occurring species, but no account of their creation has ever been found, and magi can't explain why anyone would create such a purposefully obnoxious species. Dire trufwolves delight in stealing and hiding their companion's items, especially when that item is one of a pair. They also shed everywhere, the fur turning into long, sticky, melty chocolate strands all over everything - but strangely, hair that is brushed off or clipped merely feels and acts like regular wolf fur, foiling any attempts to make use of this trait. Still, they're so cuddly and sweet in both disposition (aside from the tendency to steal and hide things) and smell that magi often find having one as a companion worth the hassle.
