Element: Void
While they are carrion eaters, neket carros are very clean, keeping their colorful plumage spotless and shining. They also take care not to dirty the gems they carry, which are taken from shells of their egg and imbued with magic from their parents. Magi at the keep often study the visions they see within the gems, but must be respectful of the vulture to do so. Those who bond with a neket carro will find themselves with a keen protector, and their neket carro will often fly in circles above their heads on a constant watch for their safety. Of course, some say that the neket carro knows the hour and manner of their companion's death, and is only waiting.
These creatures are bright and colorful, which belies how sinister some people find them. The reason lies in the gem that every one of these creatures possesses. Peering into the gem, with the creature's permission, gives one a view of future events, though there is much debate whether events seen within the gem are mutable or not. What is certain, however, is what is seen in the gem at the height of the solstice. After flying high in the skies at noon on the longest day of the year, the neket carro will land and allow trusted individuals to peer into the gem. What is seen will be the manner of the observer's death. Most do not want to do it.
