Frozen Female Hatchling
Name: unnamed
Species: Nandi Bear
Birthday: Monday, October 2, 2023
Owner: Windi1
Element: Neutral 
This young bear that was so difficult to find behaves much like a playful cat. It jumps around and claws at almost anything it can get its small paws on. It loves to play with you and follows you everywhere you go, which can be problematic at times. You question how people can be so afraid of these animals, for you have taken quite fondly to this nandi cub.. Not quite sure what is in store for you when this hatchling reaches adulthood, you know that it will remain loyal to you, no matter what.
Naturally very dangerous, predatory creatures, nandi bears can be found on the borderlands of the Etain Desert and the land of Voltar. Always hungry, nandi bears have obtained a bad reputation for eating humans as a last resort when there are no more food sources available. Local tribesmen believe them to be the incarnation of evil spirits and they are feared throughout the world. No one save for the brave magi will even attempt to hunt them down. When trained by magi, however, these creatures are much like a large canine - very loyal to their magi, but with the ferocity of a wild cat. When searching for these elusive creatures, it is hard to recognize the shapes if they are far away. Nandi bears have many different color variations, making them similar in color to many other desert dwelling creatures and difficult to spot. One of the major problems with nandi bears is in obtaining their eggs. Nandi bears are very protective of their young, as well as their family. If you are able to distract a wild nandi bear long enough to get an egg, you are in for a journey that ends in a very protective, loyal friend.
