Female Hatchling
Name: unnamed
Species: Felos
Birthday: Saturday, August 3, 2024
Owner: VilaWolf
Element: Neutral 
Felos hatchlings appear to be nothing more than a pile of bones, but watchful magi will sometimes see a glint of light appear in the eyes of the skull. These hatchlings don't eat or appear to interact in any way, but eventually the bones will begin to build themselves into their adult form. Magi wishing to raise a felos hatchling will need to provide it a dark space, as too much light can damage the bones, and be patient; there's no set time for a felos hatchling to become an adult.
Occasionally something goes wrong with a tienko egg and it's abandoned by its parents. When this happens, the egg gradually turns to bone and cracks, apparently killing the hatchling inside. However, it has recently been discovered that the egg does produce a semi-living creature: the skeletal felos. Felos are nocturnal creatures who prefer to stay out of sight, creeping through the shadows that linger in corners and dark alleys. Those who know they have a felos or two nearby usually keep their windows tightly shut even during the hottest nights, lest they wake up in the darkness to the felos curled up on their chest, the leathery sack inside its ribcage gently beating.
