Frozen Egg
Name: unnamed
Species: Ardulen Grotesque
Birthday: Tuesday, May 17, 2022
Owner: Chess
Element: Neutral 
This egg is made entirely of stone, yet somehow very lightweight.
Grotesques are a rare sight in the lands around the Keep, now restricted only to a population in the Foenaran Napier Forest. Although gentle creatures by nature, grotesques turn into hardened stone statues if they burn in fire, and will petrify any creature that gazes into the statues' eyes. Because of this, the stone heads of grotesques were once prized by dark wizards as defenses for their castles, and there are even legends of warriors who bore grotesque heads on their shields. Grotesques naturally turn to stone whenever bright light hits their skin, making them vulnerable to light magic. If a grotesque is caught flying when the sun appears over the horizon, it may fall to the ground and shatter. These creatures are relatively brittle when in their stone state, and surprising light, making them easy to transport. Unless they are burned, however, a grotesque does not have a petrifying gaze. The magi believe that this is a curse on the person who slayed the grotesque, and great care must be taken when handling grotesque artifacts from the mage wars.
