This egg seems to have a dark tail wrapped around itself and there are some shards stuck to it

Hatchlings are born mostly wiht very dark colors, but they lighten as they grow. Whether they were going for a calm Alphyn or a more active Lichentrope, no-one knows, but you can only hope that the hatchling calms down with age at some point. That grin does not look all that playful nor friendly as it stands now. Playful, active and constantly pouncing and lunging around, a Linchego hatchling can be a handful. They tend to suddenly come to a halt at times, laying down and resting, only to bounce right back up after it has gained some of its energy back. A horn is growing from its forehead, it appears a little crooked.

With age, they start to look a little... Blind, as their movement slows and they stop acting like playful puppies and their movement slows. To be honest, when these creatures move you start to feel a little uneasy. They have grown somewhat distant from you, preferring to lounge outside in their own peace rather than near you. They seem selfish and uncaring towards you. Perhaps if you had trained them a little better things could be different. But you tread to think if training them now is a good idea; you saw what happened to the mail-magi that disturbed them, and you're still not fully ready to confront the man. You are just glad that when it's night time, these creature seem to calm down and the uneasy feeling they give you seems to fade away. But are you certain they stay inside of The Keep while you are resting, or not?



General

Not quite like Wendigos, these creatures gained their name from the uneasy atmosphere that they seem to create, as well as the mystery behind their origins. No-one really knows how the idea of breeding these specific creatures came to be, but it is said that once some unfortunate fella that spent a little too much time enjoying one too many of Remy's seasonal brewings, accidentally mixed up some of their keep creatures, claiming that they looked plenty similar in their eyes and things just started rolling from there. In either case, this is just a rumor on how the Linchego first came into being. Was it an accident though, or an experiment done on purpose? What did they seek to accomplish? A more active Lichentrope, or a calmer, more companion like Alphyn? One could never tell, for the creator seems to have suddenly disappeared without the slightest of hints on their whereabouts. There is no-one to credit in the books.

Hunger for battling, though mostly docile at nights when it's darker, the Linchego are somewhat unpredictable as not much is known of them as of this moment. They have some similarities to their parent species, in that their colours vary based on where they are born just like the Alphyns', they also still have an antler, though only one that is mostly hidden under fur. The mushrooms of a Lichentrope have seemingly been replaced by different shaped shards mostly found around its mane. Some suspect that these shards are bones, it is hard to start inspecting the particles as they seem to get lost in the many layers of thick mane fur of the creature. Etainian Linchego are mane-less, but seem more aggressive when a Magi reaches for the shards.

The Linchego are four feet dwellers, as in they walk around on all four. A Magi can notice though that they can grip things with their hands - with some determination, though the use of their long and tangling tail is more preferred - and despite their size, a Linchego can briefly stand on its two hind legs, but it is more common that they need and take support when in a pose like this.

Edit:
Adult colors on one of the species. I hope I've not started suffering from narcolepsy. More will come soon. I promise
Can you guess which color it is? Though I find it funny, I always took reference of the Silvan one, and now we're here



Here, I choce to go with the non shaded versions so that the colors were clearer, but the adults have some shaded versions left

Love your sketch!

Thank you~ I'm struggling with my other entries, but these ones I'm actually liking plenty
I'll try and doodle some more in a bit, can't scan them, but I'll make a colored version of these ones I have currently and then add some writing

My other entries may eat dust, but even if this doesn't go far, I still find great joy in this little thing~
