Frozen Egg
Name: unnamed
Species: Pine Nulorn
Birthday: Sunday, December 20, 2015
Owner: Saria
Element: Neutral 
This egg resembles a large pine cone.
These fascinating creatures are not often seen near the castle – they are wary of humans, and seldom leave the forest. They remain in the northern parts of the woods primarily, which is a long and dangerous trek away from The Keep. Only on the hottest days of the year will pine nulorns move towards the edge of the forest, looking for cold lakes and ponds. Pine nulorns love to submerge themselves in water, and even dunk their heads under to escape the heat. Young nulorns will happily follow the adults in, and learn to swim very quickly. These animals are excellent swimmers, and can even cross lakes if they so desire. Though it is very rare, these nulorns will sometimes bond closely with their magi, and allow them to ride on their backs. This is a speedy form of travel, as these nulorns know of every tree in the woods, and can travel at great speed. Even deep snows do not deter them, as their wide hooves act as snowshoes. Once snow begins to fall heavily, pine nulorns withdraw deeper into the woods. Although nulorns are peaceful animals, most people give them a wide bearing. These companions are one of the largest creatures found to the north, and can measure up to twice a man's height. To further add to this, male nulorns also possess remarkable antlers. The only animals that pose a threat are packs of wolves, during the winter. Pine nulorns freeze in place whenever alarmed, and their strange coats blend in perfectly with the trees. It is said that one could pass right by one of these companions without ever knowing.
