Birthday: Wednesday, December 27, 2023

Element: Neutral 
This sweet-smelling egg almost looks like it was carved out of wood.
After the first snowfall has fallen, one can hear the sound of wood being chopped deep inside the forest. The creatures that chop the wood are benevolent and love to have spectators as they carve intricate decorations with their nimble fingers and skillful teeth. They live near rivers, where they laze around when not shaping something out of wood. Adept swimmers, the yule castors can travel for great lengths even upstream if they sniff out a sweetly scented wood. Although they can carve things out of any wood, they prefer the scented ones. There is no explanation for this other than the wood probably smells better and makes the carving more pleasant for the castors while they are at it. Each individual focuses on its task, caring little about what the other castors do around them, but they do work together in a sense. If one of them chops off a tree, then more castors will gather around, each taking a chunk of the trunk to carve so no wood would come to waste.
