Female Hatchling
Name: unnamed
Species: Tropical Cetus
Birthday: Saturday, January 8, 2022
Owner: Reima
Element: Neutral
Tropical cetus hatchlings love nothing more than to play in Lake Lakira, with whatever creatures are near. As hatchlings, their aura of peace and happiness is even more potent, so it's not uncommon to spot creatures that would normally eat each other all happily playing together when a cetus hatchling is nearby. This seems to be beneficial to all magical creatures involved, since non-magical fish attracted to the area become easy meals for the ceti and other predators. If the cetus hatchling's calming aura isn't sufficient to discourage conflict, though, it won't hesitate to nip the offender. Even as hatchlings, ceti have sharp teeth that can deliver quite a painful bite when necessary.
Tropical ceti are distant relatives of leviathans and grow to be just as large, but while leviathans are regarded with wary respect and fear by sailors, tropical ceti are well loved and spotting one on a voyage is considered good luck. While they are usually found playing with each other near the Callisto Islands, some will venture further out, such that they have been spotted in waters all over the known world. Wherever they go, tropical ceti exude calm and joy, such that even when one shows up in Triathe, the residents reluctantly allow it to leave in peace. Some say this is the mark of the Callisto Islands on them - wherever a cetus goes, it takes some of the islands' easygoing lifestyle with it.
