Frozen Male Hatchling
Name: unnamed
Species: Lakireldar
Birthday: Monday, May 1, 2017
Owner: Tekla
Element: Neutral
A lakireldar hatchling is already the size of a large dog when it hatches, and any magi taking on the challenge of raising one must handle it with the utmost care. Hatchlings grow rapidly and no matter how gently they're treated, they tend to be snappy, aggressive, and generally unpleasant to be around. Magi taking care of one should know that a lakireldar can never truly be tamed and it's usually best to simply release it once it can take care of itself. Magi should also beware a lakireldar hatchling rolling over to seemingly offer its belly; this is a trap.
The lakireldar is one of the world's most dangerous creatures, due to both its enormous size and its quick temper. It will happily pick a fight with anyone or anything near it, and its sharp teeth, huge claws, and tough scales make it a formidable opponent. Fortunately lakireldar are only found within the Scarlands, around the base of Magnis, where they blend in well with the solidified lava and volcanic ash. Magi who have dared to study them believe that they live by drinking lava and that this is possibly the reason they're always in a bad mood. Lakireldar don't even like members of their own species that much and generally only tolerate each other when mating and for the female, raising hatchlings just long enough that they can survive on their own.
