Element: Neutral
A fully grown adult ormyr can cause trouble even for the leviathans they share the waters with, but they tend to be reserved instead of aggressive. Though they become much less excitable as adults, they retain a love of shiny things and a mischievous streak that mainly comes out when they're with hatchlings or magi, especially children. Ormyr raised by magi from an egg have been known to give children rides through the shallow waters bordering beaches - and also known for dumping them back onto the sand when they grow tired of the game. Their scales are too heavy for most people to use in armour but they occasionally lose the pearls lining their sides and these can be used to power all manner of spells.
A relative of the more common pearl wyrms, ormyr are larger and known to inhabit deeper waters, though they often come to shore to sunbathe on the warm sands of the Callisto Islands. Royal ormyr usually hunt in the twilight, when their violet and blue colouring allows them to blend in with the growing shadows. Though dangerous if provoked, ormyr are not aggressive and will usually prefer to swim away rather than fight, unless protecting a clutch of eggs or hatchlings. They seem to enjoy following boats, especially if they can startle the occupants by appearing suddenly from the depths, due to their high swimming speed.
