Hatchling satura are surprisingly ugly for the first few months of their lives, before their feathers grow in to cover their green skin. They spend most of their time sleeping, preferably cuddled up with nestmates, parents, or inside a magi's shirt. Their fire and ability to create silence don't appear until their feathers are fully grown in, and before that satura hatchlings should be kept in a warm area. Despite their small size, satura hatchlings are noisy creatures and can make a large variety of sounds, from chirps to grunts and gurgles. When old enough, but not yet ready to fly, satura hatchlings entertain themselves by climbing everything in sight, and particularly seem to enjoy sitting on the highest thing in the room to look down on and judge people walking by.
Found deep in both Raza and Ixan jungles, the satura is both an omen of ill tidings and of good harvest, depending on who you talk to. Nocturnal and silent, they often spook those who are out after dark by passing close by, the only warning of their appearance the ghostly blue of their flames. This fire is usually cold, and harmless to those that the satura trusts, but can be heated almost instantly to allow the satura to defend itself. Satura feathers can be used by magi to make themselves silent, muffling footsteps and voices, and some students at the Keep have been known to use them to sneak into the kitchen late at night to steal sweets.
