Male Hatchling
Name: unnamed
Species: Glaucus Meurin
Birthday: Sunday, August 7, 2016
Owner: MSolara
Element: Neutral
Small and vulnerable, newly hatched glaucus meurin face a harrowing journey across the beach to get to the lake. Those that make it across face more danger, and although they arrive as a group, they quickly separate. There are no adults of their kind here, but young glaucus meurin make an easy snack for the other creatures in this lake. Thankfully, young glaucus meurin are also fast, able to outswim many of the creatures in the lake.
Glaucus meurin, although native to Alveus, are more often found in the ocean. It takes about a decade for a glaucus meurin to reach maturity, at which point they can be several times the size of their brown cousins. Due to their size, they can only comfortably live in Pearlen, the largest lake. Adults eventually find themselves in need of space only the open ocean can provide, migrating down the river that connects that lake to the ocean. Females return to the lake in winter every five years, slowly climbing ashore by night and laying their eggs in the sand before returning to the sea.
