Male Hatchling
Name: unnamed
Species: Axolotl
Birthday: Sunday, May 29, 2011
Owner: Master Belmos
Element: Neutral
Small enough to hold in your hand, an axolotl hatchling requires much attention. Even at a young age, they need almost constant companionship, and when you are near it, you seem to feel more lighthearted. This little one appears to have this effect on others as well, bringing happiness wherever it goes. There are tender water plants along the bottom of Lakira that it feeds upon, as well as worms and small insects. As this hatchling learns to feed and care for itself, its parents will begin to guide it into greater waters, where it will someday journey alone. For now, though, this little one is content with playing in the Lake and learning what food tastes best.
These creatures live in seas and oceans, but often choose to live in Lake Lakira, where they can mingle with other species. Axolotls are among the most social of magical creatures, due to their gift. They possess the ability to bring humans together in love, as well as animals. Because of this, the commoners have nicknamed these salamanders “Love Bringers”. This species is highly sought among the wealthy, due to this wonderful talent. Because axolotls have affection towards all living creatures, magi do not frown upon the practice of them being sold, as long as the creature is happy. They are meant to be joyful creatures, though, and a sad axolotl is a sight not seen. Axolotls are easy to spot even when they are mingling with their non-magical cousins, due to their beautiful pink coloration. These sweet creatures will also swim up to any human nearby and make their own form of conversation.
