Frozen Egg
Name: unnamed
Species: Leliyn
Birthday: Monday, July 17, 2017
Owner: zylle
Element: Neutral
This rough brown egg is decorated with delicate glowing lines of blue.
Loosely related to dragons, leliyn are found exclusively in warm, dry areas with lots of trees, where they spend most of their time clinging to tree trunks and threatening passersby. At night, the blue stripes on their otherwise dull scales glow with bioluminescence, an effect which also applies to their frills and the insides of their mouths. When threatened, leliyn extend their frills and open their mouths, and if this display doesn't work, they can spit a thick black poison that burns anything it comes in contact with. Leliyn are not considered a good Keep companion for this reason, but when raised from an egg they are often great protectors for explorers and magi who generally just want to be left alone. Their distinctive run - where they raise up onto their hind legs - makes them easy to spot even at a distance, but can be quite frightening when they're running towards someone instead of away.
