This is a delicious-looking cluster of caramel popcorn. It smells enticingly sweet and you want to eat it, but the caramel is so hard you're afraid you'll break your teeth on it.
Carapopricorns are a strange variety of capricorn that are slightly smaller but much more densely built and generally much, much more ill-tempered. They also can spend an indefinite amount of time on land with seemingly no ill effects, though they still prefer to be near a body of water. Carapopricorns seem inviting, with their shining golden scales and sweet caramel aroma, but will charge at high speed and give a nasty headbutt to anyone they don’t like - which is most people. They also eat pretty much everything, including cherished clothing, precious jewelry, and rare spellbooks. However, they are mildly affectionate towards their magi and their cast-off scales can be ground into gorgeous gold ink that holds fast through any abuse and also retains their sweet smell, so many magi find them to be a worthwhile companion. Every twenty years or so, some aspiring magi gets the idea to use carapopricorn scales to make jewelry or armor, since the scales are quite hard and lovely. However, though it is indeed possible to make beautiful crafts from their scales, so far no one has ever found a way to stop it from turning into a sticky, melted, unrecognizable mess the day after it is finished.
