This gray egg is unusually heavy and has small colorful crystals growing on its surface.

Crystalfins are unusual little whales which inhabit large freshwater rivers. They are almost completely blind and find their way around using their sensitive beaks and echolocation, the latter of which is aided by delicate crystals growing along their bodies. These crystals have properties which allow the dolphins to amplify and direct sound -- useful for catching prey and avoiding predators. In addition to helping the dolphins navigate, the crystals are said to have magical healing properties, but rather than healing people or creatures, many believe these crystals keep the rivers where the dolphins live healthy. A large population of crystalfins is said to make a river clean and full of fish, so inhabitants of Taggelisk have great reverence for the Taggian crystalfin. Anyone caught harming these dolphins is swiftly reprimanded, and might be held accountable for especially poor fishing hauls later in the year. Unlike the Stream crystalfins, Taggian crystalfins rarely shy away from humans and will occasionally swim right up to boats out of curiosity. Seeing these dolphins is considered good luck, and some fishermen will even set aside a fish or two as offerings in the hope the crystalfins will continue to bring them good fishing hauls.
