Today is Magistream's birthday, but there's no News or posts? I'm going to be sad if everyone forgets. Well, just in case, I wanted to say thank you to everyone who has made this site possible.

Magistream's Birthday Release, May 10: 3-site-news/218580-happy-th-birthday-magistream.html

Accipito ( in the Stream )

(no dimorphism)
(m) (f)

This egg has a fringe of bright orange feathers on top.

Hatchling

The accipito hatchling is quite the handful to keep up with. Now that it has hatched, it no longer requires high temperatures and will happily go anywhere and everywhere with no ill effect. If it feels threatened or gets startled, it defends itself with blasts of heat. While not strong enough to cause serious burns, they hurt enough to make most other creatures wary of the hatchling.

Adult

Once an adult, the accipito crystalwing is a quick and agile hunter. It is not a good flyer, but it can use its wings to dash forward at great speed. There is a strict hierarchy among all accipito crystalwings at the Keep, and once one of them reaches adulthood, it has to enter into a number of duels to determine its rank. At first, magi thought that the duels involved a staring contest, as the two crystalwings would stand across each other and just watch. But by accident, it was discovered that the orange feathers on their head, wings and tail glow with a light not visible to the human eye. The two duellist make these feathers glow, with the brighter glow winning over the other. Interestingly, accipito crystalwings show great respect to phoenixes and fire gryphons, probably because their natural flames make them glow much brighter than any crystalwing can manage.

General

Accipito crystalwings are creatures from the deepest caverns of Nareau. They live in groups of several dozen creatures that aggressively defend their home cavern and young against outside intrusions. Accipito crystalwing caverns can be identified easily from a distance; the crystalwings heat up their home cavern to a temperature barely bearable to humans. Just passing through one of those caverns can cause damage similar to a sunburn. This temperature is required for accipito eggs to develop correctly. If they are kept at lower temperatures for long, the hatchling will die in the egg. Therefore, growing them at the Keep requires special chambers that are kept heated by fires or appropriate magic. Accipito crystalwings grow almost to the size of a human, although they are much lighter thanks to their slender build.

Hexapo ( in the Stream )

(m) (f)
(m) (f)

This egg has a black jewel that shimmers with multiple colours in the sunlight.

Hatchling

Hexapo crystalwings are squat, chunky hatchlings, always looking for their next meal. They tend to want to investigate everything just in case it's edible, which can get painful due to their powerful jaws and sharp teeth. A favourite way for a hatchling to get attention is to headbutt whoever's ignoring them - fine when it's another hexapo, but painful for anything smaller or more delicate. Although they tend to be rambunctious and bratty, hexapo hatchlings can also be quite affectionate, and many magi treasure those brief times when their hexapo hatchling is quiet and snuggly.

Adult

Adult hexapo crystalwings prefer to run in herds, taking turns to look after hatchlings, the elderly, and the injured. Magi introducing new hexapo to an established herd should be careful to introduce them as hatchlings; if that isn't possible, they run the risk of the new hexapo being beaten up and driven away. Fortunately this territorial behaviour only applies to other unknown creatures; with magi, adult hexapo crystalwings have usually learned to be a little more gentle, though they also have no issues with headbutting someone who's provoking them.

General

Though hexapo crystalwings are too heavy - and their wings too small - to fly, magi shouldn't be fooled by their generally lazy personalities. Given the right motivation, a hexapo crystalwing can easily run down a person. Most hexapo are found in southern areas, in grasslands and jungles where they have easy access to the waters they like to bathe in. When relaxed, they enjoy engaging in playfights, which may look dangerous to the casual observer, but don't usually result in any real injuries. Otherwise they spend most of their time eating and sleeping in the sun.

Rauna ( Water Shop at 2,000 gold )

(m) (f)
(m) (f)

This egg is calmest when sitting in a small bowl of water.

Hatchling

Rauna crystalwings prefer mating in the days surrounding the full moon with spring being their main mating season. It is then that they form vast, shallow pools of water in which their lay their eggs. The rauna hatchlings hatch in this watery nest and spend the majority of their first few months playing in the water, slowly forming the bond that will stay with them throughout their lives. The happy chirps of the playing hatchlings occasionally rise to excited squeals when one of them manages to make even the tiniest wave. It is when the hatchlings start reshaping the sides of their watery nest to create water slides into the nearby stream that the adult raunas know that the hatchlings are ready to leave the nest

Adult

Adult rauna crystalwings are at their happiest when they are working together with water. Persuading a stream to turn directly into the solid rock wall, thereby slowly creating a tunnel, or letting the water wash high up on the tunnel's walls, expanding the tunnel into a cavern, gives them a sense of great joy and accomplishment. A friendly and peaceloving species, they are even willing to use this ability to assist humans, provided that they are asked politely, and given offerings of opals, their favourite food.

General

The rauna crystalwings are only found in the depths of the Tetzcotal jungle. There they make their home in a wide-reaching underground system of tunnels and caverns, a home they have built using their unique bond with water; Adult raunas are able to persuade any body of water to change its course. Through using the water's power they can drill through virtually anything, thus easily expanding their underground home. It is thought that this bond is at its strongest during full moon, at which time their citrine-coloured gems are rumoured to glow with the light of the moon.

Osanyin ( Herbalist Shop at 2,000 gold )

no dimorphism
no dimorphism

This egg is wrapped in warm wood and gives off a gentle green glow.

Hatchling

Osanyin hatchlings camouflage themselves as dead branches and bushes until they grow large enough to help their parents protect their chosen spot of nature. As they grow, they begin to nurture the vegetation around them, with the help of other osanyin family members. With magi they're friendly but somewhat distant; this is generally considered a good thing as they're as hard as the wood they resemble, and have varying patterns of thorns. Fortunately they can play with other osanyin crystalwings, as well as creatures with hardier skin or armour.

Adult

Adult osanyin crystalwings can grow to great sizes, though the biggest are usually guardians of forests. Although their purpose is to protect, they understand that gardens need to be harvested, and forests can be logged - though under the watchful eye of the osanyin guardians, magi are very careful to take only trees that are dead, dying, or a danger to the rest of the forest. Osanyin adults spend most of their time nurturing their territory and raising their hatchlings, but when threatened they can turn the land itself against an intruder.

General

Osanyin crystalwings are gentle creatures despite their formidable size and appearance - until their gardens and forests are threatened. Found mostly in temperate and northern biomes, where they can blend in better, osanyin are guardians of nature. Each osanyin family chooses a forest or a garden to guard as their own, where they raise their hatchlings and defend against any intruders that seek to harm their trees and plants. An osanyin-protected spot of nature will always grow well, which has led magi to befriend these crystalwings and encourage them to choose Keep and city gardens, as well as nearby farmlands and rural areas. In return for their protection, magi provide osanyin crystalwings with offerings taken from their harvests, whether grains, fruit, or a portion of carefully logged trees.

Moroi ( Dark Brotherhood Shop at 2,000 gold )

(m) (f)
(m) (f)

This egg emanates dark energy and sounds a little like it has a heartbeat.

Hatchling

Moroi crystalwing hatchlings hatch only at night, and shun the sunlight from that point on. They prefer dark areas and high places from which they can hang by their back feet, sleeping and watching any movement down below. They eat strictly meat, the rarer the better, and highly dislike the taste or smell of garlic. Although generally lethargic, they can move quite quickly when they want to, and many magi raising these hatchlings report that they like to bite hard enough to draw blood. When fed properly, moroi hatchlings - who start out small enough to comfortably fit in a magi's cupped hands - will grow upwards of ten feet in length, with tails at least as long as their bodies.

Adult

An adult moroi crystalwing is long and lean capable of an apparently effortless loping stride on four legs, and an ability to sit on its hindquarters in order to scan the area around it. Their crystals are very rare and highly prized for use in dark and blood magics, but moroi themselves are generally indifferent to the other living creatures around them. Adult moroi rarely breed and magi aren't sure what triggers their breeding season, though it's possibly related to the phases of the moon. As adults, moroi still eat mostly raw meat, but appear to consider blood a special treat, though most at least have the manners to wait until it's offered instead of just taking it.

General

Moroi crystalwings are loners, avoiding the company of even their own kind except during their rare mating seasons, though they do seem to have an affinity for the chupacabra. Their distinctive colourings - red and gold for the male, silver and blue for the female - make them easy to recognize, assuming a magi can get close enough to tell the difference in the dark areas where they like to live. Some moroi crystalwings have been found in abandoned manors, where they hoard stashes of gold and jewels, but this seems to be an unusual behaviour. Their great wings enable them to fly long distances, but their flight is silent enough that more than one magi has been startled by unexpectedly encountering one in the isolated countryside.

I'd say it's 9 because to my knowledge Magistream started on 2009~? 18 - 9 = 9
But I've not checked if it was around on the year 2008, I'm lazy xD

Last years news post says Magistream turned 8, so you are correct.

I think Ktanaqui got their information from the Magistream stats on the front page, which says the launch date was 9y 19h 7m ago. But that is very likely wrong, considering the first pet, Koi Fish, on site was released on May 10th 2009.
