Obsidian rykeirs are very difficult to see, as they have no true body. Instead, they seem more like a moving gas, bright orange in color. The first thing a rykeir hatchling does is form a connection with its magi. Once this is complete, the rykeir will know where their magi is at all times. Then, the obsidian rykeir immediately disappears. The hatchling may be gone anywhere from a few hours to an entire year. No one is completely sure where they go, but most believe they are busy gathering lost souls. When the rykeir finally returns to their magi, they have fully matured.
This companions have the amazing ability of always being able to find their magi. It doesn't matter if the person in question has traveled to the farthest ends of the world, or deep into the bowels of the earth. Rykeirs become incredibly focused when searching for someone, and never give up. A fully grown rykeir companion is able to find their magi within a few days, traveling at great speeds. Though obsidian rykeirs certainly protect their magi, they also never pass up the chance to create mischief. Magi are careful about having their obsidian rykeir near them, because these creatures cannot control the urge to play tricks on people and creatures. Obsidian rykeirs are quick to react, and if they feel there is anything threatening their magi, they will go into a rage and attack anything in sight. Although they ensure their magi's safety often, rykeirs must venture out every few weeks in order to replenish their energy. Should they not do so, they begin to grow weak. It's not uncommon for rykeirs to follow alongside lone travelers, trying to lure them off their paths to get lost in the wilderness. Despite this, obsidian rykeirs eventually guide them their destinations, and make sure no serious harm befalls them.
