This blue and green egg is very cold.
A huge sheet of ice recently fell in the Arkene. With its disappearance, a huge cavern was discovered. This cave had been completely hidden by the ice, for years if not centuries. Once the entrance was no longer blocked, these creatures emerged into the world once more. They woke from a deep sleep, shattering the ice around them and leaving their shelter behind. Though only a few vetus had been freed from this frigid cavern, as soon as it began moving, others rose up from sleep as well. Ice began to violently shatter, revealing caves that would have never been discovered otherwise. Despite these abnormal events, life in the Arkene swiftly returned to normal. The vetuses remained roughly where they were, settling into the environment with ease. These companions cannot withstand heat of any kind, and seldom venture near The Keep. They prefer the frigid weather of the far north, where few humans travel. Though these creatures remain far from human settlements, and only consume ice, they are by no means gentle. Vetuses have short tempers, and will snap at any animal that irritates them. If one is intent on studying a vetus that is not their own companion, it is best to do so from a distance. Their most valuable skill, however, is neither their teeth or claws, but in their magic. These companions possess the ability to turn any moisture surrounding them into ice. They do often do so to form shelters, or walk across water. Should a vetus fall into water, they will immediately sink. It does them no great damage, as they can exist without breathing, but they cannot swim. Instead, they must slowly drag themselves against the ocean floor, till they reach land and can haul themselves out.
