This bright egg is very cold, and you must wear insulated gloves when handling it.
Few creatures in the Arkene are more feared or dangerous than the haietlik, great serpents once said to drain first the heat, then the life from a person’s body. In reality, haietliks have little interest in humans and have never been known to view people as food, but their diets in the wild may vary from small lemmings and ground squirrels to hares, geese, foxes, caribou, bears, seals, fish, carrion, and even whales as they grow. Ambush predators by nature, haietlik will wait in snow banks or the sides of icy cliffs to spring on unsuspecting prey when young, and switch to actively seeking out whales, especially orcas, once they are grown. They are one of the few creatures made of ice that can withstand warm environments, for no matter how hot it gets, a haietlik’s hide is still far colder than anything around it, never melting. They do seem to prefer cold environments though, and do not grow as quickly if raised south of the Arkene. Haietlik are capable of seeing infrared light through pits in their jaw, and use this to determine when their prey is fit to be eaten. For the same reason, haietlik may search out frozen carcasses in the tundra, though they never eat anything dead that still emits warmth. They are prominent in the mythology of several peoples from the Arkene and northern Alasre Mountain Range. They are said to have originally been lightning bolts breathed from a great thunderbird, sent out to hunt orcas for the thunderbird to eat.
