Frozen Egg
Name: unnamed
Species: Amphiptere
Owner: NellaFantasia
Element: Earth 
This egg appears at first to be nothing more than a rock.
Amphipteres are strange creatures, even compared to some of the other companions in the castle. These beautiful animals are formed from living rock, and have neither blood nor flesh to weaken them. If an amphithere is ever defeated, it does not perish, but crumbles into sand. The amphithere's body will reform from the sand, and the creature will be as it was before. It is only when they are old that amphipteres finally succumb to death, freezing in place and never moving again. Like most companions, their lives are long and full of adventures: they live for many centuries. They are happiest when roaming the world at the side of a magi, discovering new places and lost treasures. Amphipteres are most able companions, as their presence usually wards off any dangers. These animals do not have many weaknesses, though water causes them to move sluggishly and drains their powers. Amphipteres possess an old magic: the ability to control the earth with their voices. A loud roar from an amphiptere may cause avalanches or even crack the earth in two. This is very draining for the creature, though, and they must rest to recuperate. Amphipteres prefer to use small magics which can be equally devastating. One well known trick of theirs is that they can liquefy the earth, and suck their enemy downwards. Depending on their anger, the amphiptere may even solidify the earth again, trapping their foe forever. This is a rare occurrence, as it is more common for amphipteres to use their magic to aid their friends. A cry from one of them and the earth will respond, a rock surging upwards from the soil. Amphipteres can command these rocks to take any form, to be any shape. They are even rumored to have helped form the keep centuries ago.
