Hatchling vetur crystalwings tend to sleep a lot, though they can be very playful on cold, crisp days when the sun is shining. They do best in an outdoors area where they can sleep and play in the snow, as they don't enjoy much heat. Even freshly hatched they leave frost marks where they've been, but these marks are small and easily wiped away. Having multiple hatchlings is recommended, so that they can snuggle together without getting too hot, though this will cause the air temperature around them to drop. Fortunately, hatchlings cannot call up much more than a few snowflakes when grumpy, leading to what most magi term 'adorable' sprinkle fights between squabbling siblings.
Hailing from the northernmost stretches of Boreus, vetur crystalwings are reclusive and mysterious creatures. Covered in crystals that resemble the ice structures of their homes, they easily blend in with their surroundings, though their colouring is different. The white glitter of the females blends in with the snow where they nest to hatch their eggs, while the darker males hunt during the long nights, blending in with the sky and the stars. Magi can spot when a vetur crystalwing has passed by the frosted footprints they leave on any area bare of snow. Those vetur crystalwings raised by magi tend to be calm, quiet presences, large enough to take up room but not so huge as to cause damage with their gentle frost. However, when angered, vetur crystalwings can call up biting snow and wind to direct at whatever - or whoever - has offended them.
