Frozen Male Hatchling
Name: unnamed
Species: Jerda's Creature
Birthday: Wednesday, May 22, 2013
Owner: Lunalux
Element: Neutral 
As far as hatchlings go, Jerda's creatures are quite well mannered. They are not very playful, instead spending their time hunting for food and swimming. When they do come on land, they're happy to perch on their magi's shoulders. They bond extremely well with their magi, which is not necessarily a good thing. Jerda's creatures can be extremely protective, nipping at anyone who comes too close to their favored human. It's almost impossible to teach Jerda's creatures to stop being so possessive.
These strange creatures were discovered by a man named Jerda, who was a renowned pirate and explorer. He journeyed to many unknown lands, and in his travels found these companions. Jerda liked the animals so much that one remained by his side for the remainder of his life. He also brought many of them back on his ship, and they spread rapidly throughout the world and have remained here since. Jerda's creatures are well liked among most, as they often bond well with fishermen. Magi who have great love for water and traveling often have Jerda's creatures as companions. They help navigate through treacherous rivers, and even supply food. When not exploring, these companions are found near lakes and rivers. They can move as well on land as in water, but are seldom far from a pond or stream. Jerda's creatures are extremely powerful swimmers, propelled by their finned tails and webbed wings. On land, they run at great speed, due to their large feet. These feet end with sharp talons, which can do damage should one of Jerda's creatures ever have to fight. These companions prefer not to engage in violence, and their sharp eyesight allows them to see approaching predators with ease. This vision also allows Jerda's creatures to find fish easily underwater, which they snap up happily. Their other favored meals are insects, and they won't hesitate to dig up worms or grubs, either. Should they feel like it, Jerda's creatures can be of great help to fishermen.
