April Midmonth ~ Meridian Delphis

[feralkiwi]

I was going to say the short-beaked common dolphin's latin name is delphinus delphis, but looks like it's already confirmed as a dolphin critter i love the egg and hatchling sprites already!

Adult meridian delphis are roughly the size of the average adult magi, though they're much more powerful. Magi travelling on the ocean often see delphis jumping and playing around the boat at night, the glowing patterns on their skin casting light a surprising distance. When not hunting or playing, delphis spend their time sunbathing, preferably in protected coves of shallow water. Wild pods have been known to help fishermen catch fish, for a share of the haul; fishermen who get greedy will often have water spit at them with unerring accuracy, or even have their boats tipped over. Meridian delphis can also often be spotted near beaches, where they play with swimmers and protect them from predators.

Darn, just when I thought I need to breed my past Donation Pets we get these...
How am I supposed to resist something with such a gorgeous colour combo? I'll have to have a serious discussion with my wallet later.

[Shiranui]

[DarkstarWolf]

Anyone know if there's a dimorphism? I'll be away for a couple days so it might need to be edited in for me~~
They're interesting though~~~
