Wondering what we'll get.
Personally I'm still hoping for dragonflies. Although something related to crystalwings would be nice? Since it's May...
Thoughts?
3 Shards - Lakireldar # 775
This large black egg is angrily flapping its wings.
Hatchie description
Spoiler
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.

Signs posted around the Scarlands warn magi to keep a careful eye out for lakireldar, and travellers are often discouraged from approaching Magnis if it can be avoided. Lakireldar adults can grow to a massive size and see nothing wrong with attacking anyone or anything that ventures into their territory, including other lakireldar. Those who have managed to observe lakireldar - from a safe distance - report that despite its aggressive behaviour, the animal itself is quite beautiful, its dark scales gleaming with purple and blue hues under the sunlight. These scales can fetch quite a high price in the right market, due to the danger of collecting them, but most magi simply find it easier to stay out of a lakireldar's way - possibly on the other side of the world.
Spoiler
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.

5 Shards - Fjallaugar #776
This large brown egg is wiggling its tail.
Hatchie description
Spoiler
A fjallaugar hatchling is a large and clumsy beast, though it doesn't mean to knock things over and break valuables. Hatchlings mostly just want attention, especially if that includes belly rubs, and will happily follow a magi anywhere it can still manage to squeeze itself into. Fjallaugar hatchlings can be unintentionally rough with other creatures, especially creatures smaller than them, and must be taught that people are easily harmed. However, a properly raised fjallaugar hatchling will be a great companion, if one that can eat entire forests within a week.
Adult description
Spoiler
Many magi have mentioned that if the fjallaugar didn't grow to such an enormous size, it would be a perfect companion. Fjallaugar adults are friendly, playful, and generally try to be helpful, which some travellers find very useful when they need to carry something heavy for a long distance. In order to keep its size and continue growing, fjallaugar adults must spend at least half their day grazing, which can include everything from grass to bushes to entire trees. When not eating or helping their magi, they are very family-oriented, helping to raise any hatchlings and being affectionate with their partners
Spoiler
The fjallaugar may be massive in size but it's incredibly gentle and friendly, willing to play with just about anyone that crosses its path. This can cause problems as fjallaugar have been known to grow so large that sleeping ones have been mistaken for mountains, especially with their stiff green manes. They're found mostly in the mountain ranges between Me'chuan and Alasre, particularly in more moderate climates. Although friendly, they seem to form small families of up to four partners and whatever hatchlings they're currently raising. However, large groups of fjallaugar have been known to gather in the open plains beneath the mountains, where they have playful mock battles and introduce hatchlings to each other.
