Frozen Egg

Two red horns and matching crystals protrude from this black and purple egg.
The elusive crystalwings are rarely sighted and due to that are believed to only be a myth in some areas. Local legends describe one of these mythical creatures as large silent spirits of the lost that can block out the sun in one flap of a wing rising higher and higher until no light reaches the ground. These tales have been connected to the varja crystalwings - one of the largest crystalwing species and also one of the most solitary. The dark red crystals on them seem to absorb light from all around, making even the darkest nights seem darker yet. The absorbed light appears to make red crystalline spikes grow from the spine of the creature and the older the creature gets and the more light it absorbs, the longer the spikes grow. The spikes are believed to store immense powers that the varja crystalwing can call upon when needed. Especially those who have an affinity to more experimental and dark magics have found that getting the help of a varja crystalwing makes their spells and potions more potent.
