October Donation Pets

[SynthDetective]

I'm ready for a great october! I love all the halloween creatures I've seen on here so I'm excited for this month!

I see one of yours hatched xD So they are horses indeed
I'm fine with this
I'll probably have to buy one on the 3rd for my birthday
Do I get the midmonth too.... I like that too.... My gold.




OH YEAH

HESTEN

Hesten is like horse in Swedish (or like, en hest, so 'hesten' is like many horses)
I should have known
Because we are forced to study that language
Oh well, it's 8am and I've not slept x2

The Swedish version of the word is spelled with Ä and not E, so "Hästen" instead of "Hesten", and Hästen would be the equivalent of "the horse" rather than "many horses". The term for many horses would be "hästar"

*happy squeal* Their descriptions makes me think of the horses that pull the chariots of Apollo (or Helios) and Nyx.

"Hesten" is Danish (and I think also Norwegian) for "the horse".

So... day and night horses?

Kind of a weird name/language conbination, as 'nox' is Latin for 'night' and 'sol' is Spanish for 'sun'.

Female Sol

Sol hesten hatchlings are able to walk and run within minutes of their hatching, and they seem to greatly enjoy racing through the early morning, gleaming gold and bronze under the sunlight. Their wings aren't big enough to allow them to truly fly but they often glide from high places, at least until their bodies get too heavy as they age. As the morning continues, sol hesten hatchlings and their herdmates retreat into the high empty hills to play and graze until night falls and they can sleep.


EDIT - nope, they're both from Roman mythology, Sol and Nox. Their Greek counterparts are Helios and Nyx.

Sol/Helios - gods of Sun
Nox/Nyx - gods of Night

So still sun (day) and night horses

Sol

Spoiler

This winged egg is warm to the touch and brings up pleasant memories.

Sol hesten are seen mostly at dawn and within the first hour or two of morning, when most people are still asleep. Quiet and gentle, they have the ability to bring up pleasant memories for those who manage to see them, but they are still just as wild - if more social - than nox hesten. Any attempt to befriend them takes time and patience; attempting to forcefully control a sol hesten will cause it to run at best. At worst, some magi believe, an attempt at force will change a sol hesten into a nox hesten, and bring not only nightmares but tragedy. Some also believe that sol hesten call the sun up into the sky every morning, ensuring that day always comes after the night.

This makes me laugh... my (real) horse is called Apollo (Apollo was a Greek god, associated with Helios, the counterpart of the Roman Sol), and this description sounds not unlike him. And for good measure the equine Apollo (aka Ollie) was born in Denmark. Looks like I'll have to get me one of these!

Close enough to me~ it's been 4-5 years since I last studied and realized when memorizing this that I can't remember crap xD


Anyone seen any adults yet~?

Hmmmmm... I'll have to get a proper view on it
But seems rather sharp at the moment
