Spoiler
Wugu amagnae hatchlings are inquisitive and active, but remain much more tender than their wild counterparts. They will travel in groups around the yard, seeking out any scraps of good the adults leave behind, but they are also apt to follow any people, dogs, or passing wildlife out of sheer curiosity. For this reason, it is important to keep a well-managed perimeter lest a trove of chicks wander out following the mail carrier. One doesn't have to worry about them flying away, for even adult wugu amagnae are poor flyers. Their fluffy feathers also help keep them afloat if they should fall into water, though their swimming skills leave something to be desired, and they do not fare well if they remain wet for long.

Wugu amagnae are small compared to their more wild counterparts, and can easily be mistaken for large chickens at a glance. Their feathers keep them toasty warm in the winter, though they prefer cool dry places year round. There are only a few accounts of wugu amagnae living in the wild, and how they find food and shelter in the forest is something of a mystery. Near human settlements, these birds are a welcome sight. Affectionate and gentle enough to interact with children and other poultry, wugu amagnae are content to eat the same corn and grain mixes offered to the rest of a household's birds. Their relationship to the notoriously temperamental wild sorts of amagnae is only apparent when a small rodent or insect wanders across their path, at which point a wugu amagnae will make use of its strong legs and sharp claws to chase after the unfortunate creature. This makes them good for pest control as well. Wugu amagnae come in many varieties, the two most popular of which are the pastel and chromatic versions. Pastel wugu amagnae are generally lighter in color and have long, soft feathers that cover most of their bodies. Chromatic wugu amagnae are a bit brighter in color and have shorter feathers, but neither type is especially good at flying. While wugu amagnae are poor breeders themselves, they love to care for any eggs they find, and are able to keep a nest they are tending warm and comfortable even when not on it themselves. Poultry farmers and bird enthusiasts love to keep them for this reason, as having a couple wugu amagnae in a coop or aviary ensures that each egg will hatch into a strong, healthy chick.
General-
Spoiler
One of the most affectionate of creatures, wugu amagnae are sociable creatures and quite different from most other amagnae. They will run up, gobling, to anyone who approaches, begging for treats. They occasionally mingle with other amagnae, whether to mate or hunt for food, but they are most suited to living with or near humans. Their whole bodies are covered in soft, hairlike feathers, giving them a furry appearance that easily distinguishes them from other amagnae. While their beaks and claws are just as sharp as those on any other amagnae, they only use these tools to hunt, and it is uncommon to be bitten by a wugu amagnae. Their feathers make them highly prized as show birds, and the feathers they leave behind when they molt can be used to stuff lavish matreses and pillows. Many scholars have noted the similarities between wugu and domestic amagnae, and how the hairlike feathers on the former are of little use in the forest of Silva, except perhaps to keep warm. Wugu amagnae are often thought of as domestically bred fancy amagnae, though where and when the breed originated is uncertain.

New Quest

Quest text-
The Keep ยป Torren's Amagnaery
Spoiler
The Keep is bustling with people arriving and getting ready for the Harvest feast. Walking past the kitchens makes your mouth water as the whirling smells of pies and pastries and roasted vegetables caress your nose. Dreaming of the wonderful treats the feast will hold in a few days, you continue towards the gardens and the edge of the harvest plantations.

You want to visit Aderyn, the local amagnae farmer, to see if she'd be willing to give or sell you an egg or two of her prized white Domestic Amagnaes. When you reach the shed that marks the beginning of her domain you notice an empty barrel near the doorway and a parchment hung on her door.

"Out of town, back in a couple of weeks!

Please don't touch the eggs in the barrel. They are for-"

The rest of the note is obstructed by another piece of paper stuck on top of Aderyn's note.

"Need to get some harvest amagnae? Seek no further! Check out Torren's stall near the stables!" it reads with big, blocky letters.

Shrugging, you decide to go see this Torren person to see if he could provide you with the Domestic Amagnae you seek.

---

You spot Torren's establishment quite easily once you get to the stables. A big brown tent has been erected near the entrance with a large banner bearing the words "Torren's Amagnaery".

A young man in flashy yellow robes greets you enthusiastically and waves you closer.

"Hello! Welcome! I am Torren. I gather you are looking for some amagnae and Aderyn's left you cold? She's out of town, you know, showing her oh so amazing birds off in Synara City in yet another high-profile competition. No doubt her birds are going to win it. Again." Tommer sniffs and sighs and then seems to pull himself together.

"But no worries! While she's away with her newest breed of the puffiest and softest of amagnae I can provide you with the best amagnae varieties there are. Aderyn didn't take all of her newest breed with her. She left some eggs behind, for me, naturally, and I've bred some to hand out. For some reason they don't appear to grow as big or as fluffy as Aderyn's birds, but you know, given a little time I'm sure I can get my breeding to her level and provide my own line of winner amagnae."

Something about his tone and twitchy smile makes you fleetingly wonder if you should have checked the rest of Aderyn's note, just in case.

Meanwhile Torren's been describing again the many magnificent qualities of the birds. Something about being very soft you seem to grasp, and sized very reasonably. Your curiosity gets the better of you and you ask Torren how you could get one of these birds.

"Oh, I'm giving you a special price! I'll trade you one of them for just two amagnae hatchlings each! I don't care about the colors of the ones you bring me, as long as they are wild and lively and you haven't given them a name yet." He gives a chuckle and looks at you expectantly.

I wouldn't mind a new turkey of some kind.. I'd just like one that was breedable. Critters that can't breed don't interest me.

I really want a turducken.
It could go as either a multiple bird-headed chimera, or a monstrous turkey with a duck's head for pharyngeal jaws (Which in turn has a chicken's head for its own pharyngeal jaws). :derr:
I imagine you'd be able to get one by somehow getting a hydra, an osath, a dismot, and an amagnae to breed with eachother.

I've wanted some of those IRL for a while now, but I'm not forking out thousands of dollars for them (not that I have even a hundred dollars). :sweat:
