ORCA

Ive drawn a couple of pics - one is a scanned image of my pencil drawing the other is a photoshopped drawing of the same scan (SORRY they are big) to give an idea of what I was thinking.

PHOTOSHOPPED

Descriptions:

EGG: This black and white egg is rubbery and wet.


HATCHLING: A baby orca has hatched from the shell, it loves to play in the water. Splashing happily with other young ocean creatures, they often try to engage their magi in water games of hide'n'seek or who splashed last wins which they most often win if they do not get tired first.

ADULT: Orcas are very social creatures and very protective of their magi and young - often defending against other larger sea creatures who see the young as a souce of food. The male orcas are much larger than the female, and often roam the waters scouting for potential threats to his family. The adult orca is still a very playful creature and will often hide from the magi in their own game of hide'n'seek often to the magi's dispair as they are often travelling, and are not in the mood to play.

GENERAL: Orcas can be found among the reefs and waters around the Callisto Islands,the young Orcas can be found playing in a large group among the leviathans that are found there. These are the only Ocras that magi have been able to study as they tend to stay around the Callisto Islands for most of the year. Other Orcas that tend to travel a lot have been very hard for the magi to study, and are thought to be more pedatory than their cousins among the Islands. Orcas are related to the Narwhal through distant relatives and as such you can see the two groups traveling together.


Any Critics?

EDIT: 15/9/09 Updated the descriptions... i dont think Im happy with the hatchling one yet but I will add more later and some pics of the eggs and hatchlings.


FLYING FISH:

Egg: This scaly egg shimmers in your hand, changing from a deep blue to almost white and back. It reminds you of a Koi's egg, but has small wings sprouting from it.

Hatchling: An amazing Flying Fish has emerged from your egg, though it doesn't seem to like the fresh water in your koi pond, so you move it to the ocean where it can't help but leap back out of the water and glide short distances. Its colouring of blue and white helps it blend into the ocean breakers.

Adult: Your lovely hatchling has matured into a beautiful adult. Although not very useful for anything, the Flying fish love to accompany a magi on their travels, their blue and white bodies flashing in the sun. Although the adult Flying Fish doesn't mind fresh water, they are most at home in the sea and can Fly for great distances before having to engulf their bodies in water for a moment to refresh their scales before leaping back out and resuming their original position slightly ahead of the magi.

General: Flying Fish love to fly, and are happiest when traveling, a magi may not see their flying fish for weeks at a time, as they explore new islands in the sea, but they make a grand entrance to let themselves be known once they have returned - often to the magi's despair as they are usually in the middle of something and get distracted by the flying creature - many plates have been broken by a magi in such a situation. There are many legends involving the Flying Fish, are thought to be distant cousins of the Koi, who just never shed their wings due to their love of flying. Some also think they only fly out of the water to herald some great disaster or sea monster.

It's nice to see a creature that ISN'T magic.

Yeah, I don't do a lot of magic creatures myself.
This site needs orcas in my opinion, but you might want to add a little more description for the hatchling.

thanks for the comments

You know, since so many people are submitted magical creatures (myself included :c), a nonmagical one seems like the most unique. Lol that's just my take.
