Birthday: Friday, April 18, 2014

These creatures are very energetic when young. They spend their days running throughout the woods, and are hesitant to visit the castle. Vescatur hatchlings are seldom far from one another, engaging in games and resting in piles. Come night, though, and young vescaturs take off in separate directions, vanishing in a matter of moments. They will remain elusive until daybreak, when they join together once more and collapse in deep slumber.
At first sight, these companions seem to be peaceful creatures. They spend their days wandering through the forests, eating leaves and napping in the sun. Come night, though, a wild hunger grows inside them. Vescaturs become carnivores as the last light dies away, mauling and devouring any animal they come upon. What's more, they will even inflict this violence to their own kind. Should a vescatur companion catch a glimpse of their reflection in water, they will grow enraged and even attempt to consume all of the water. Should a vescatur spend the entire night trying to drink a river, they won't be harmed at all, save being sluggish the next day. They have a great love for cold water, and will often retreat there on hot days. Vescatur companions are never far from water, and are not known to be nomadic. Their territories are well marked, and all townsfolk and students are well warned to stay far away. During daylight, people can wander into these areas without fear. Vescaturs are safe enough to approach at this time, and will even accept a human's touch or offered food. They will not allow themselves to be ridden, however, and refuse to go on any quests.
