These hatchlings are fat little things, and whenever anyone visits them, they immediately rush over. Visitors to The Keep usually want to see praluven seal hatchlings, as their friendliness is well known. This is a mistake. A flock of praluven hatchlings will spot a newcomer and converge on them, exposing their stomachs and begging for pats. As soon as the person is ready to leave, though, the pups will lose their sweet temperaments and begin to howl. These howls are so loud and irritating that all other creatures flee. It's very difficult to stop a praluven seal hatchling from screeching, and most people simply leave. The most effective way is to toss a fish inside their mouths, which will sometimes make them stop and eat.
Praluven seals live on the edge of the Arkene, where the weather is harsh and the land is always covered with snow. Despite their barren environment, these seal are very social. Praluven seals don't wander very far from human settlements, and will even waddle up on land to greet a human. If they see someone from afar, they'll dive out of the water and shriek to catch the person's attention. Of course, this usually makes the human run away in fear, instead of sticking around to meet the howling beast. Other animals don't seem to like these seals very much, although praluven seals are friendly towards them. Even other seals leave when they see a praluven seal approaching. Sometimes a predator will approach a praluven seal, thinking it an easy target, but these creatures don't hesitate to defend themselves if attacked. Although they are large creatures, they don't typically fight other creatures physically. Instead, praluven seals prefer to use their interesting power, one that has made them known throughout the world. These companions can howl so loudly and for so long that any enemy is forced to run away. These seals never seem to run out of breath, and seem to enjoy screaming. Sometimes it seems as though even nearby plants are trying to sink into the ground to escape the sound. Interestingly enough, the magi have discovered no magic behind this skill. For this reason, praluven seals are encouraged to leave for the north during the summer, so the castle is quiet for a few months.
