This dark gray egg looks and feels like a rock, with smooth veins of a greenish mineral and several sharp spines sticking out.
When students are lectured on the perils of the lands of Voltar, the spinetail is sure to be mentioned. These cats are dangerous predators, easily able to catch prey as larger than themselves. These large cats eat any animal they can catch, and villagers make sure to remain far away from them. Spinetails live mainly in the volcanic regions of Voltar, where their dark, rock-like skin blends in with the ground. If they lie in a careful manner, they resemble they ground so closely that they are nearly impossible to see. This enables a spinetail to surprise any animal that wanders too near, and claim them as a meal. Not only are their long claws and sharp teeth painful, but spinetails have other weapons, too. As their name suggests, these cats have spines running along the length of their tails. These spines are very dangerous, not only because they can leave deep wounds but also because they are thin and easily break off in the wound. These wounds quickly fester if the remnant isn't removed carefully. Spines that have broken off regrow within only a few days, therefore not leaving the spinetail impaired. There are rumors about a rare subspecies of spinetail with poisoned spines, but so far no one has been able to find one and return with proof.
