This blue egg is so hot you cannot handle it without magically-enhanced protective gear. It also floats.
Praefervi are the languid top predators of coastal lagoons, preying upon all manner of sea creature they can fit into their mouths. Truly ancient praefervi can grow to immense lengths, and compete with leviathans for prey. However, it is not their size but their ability to spew searing liquid that gives them the edge over all other carnivores when hunting – save larger praefervi, of course. They get much of the heat they need from basking in the sun, either on banks or near the water’s surface, and only eat a few times each month. Praefervi are ambush predators, lying in wait for prey to come by and using their powerful tails to propel themselves forward for brief violent attacks. If the prey manages to escape, larger praefervi will seldom give chase, instead returning to their hiding spot to wait for easier prey to chance by. The potent serum they launch at other creatures is useless for hunting, but often used in combat, or to chase off other predators. Neither praefervi, suchul or maastrin, are above scavenging.
