Caught A Little One!


Nhirudo

Spoiler

The tiny barbs on this plain egg's shell prick your fingers every time you touch it.

The oceans are full of many colorful jellyfish, but nhirudos are among the most striking. The gold patches on their bodies can produce fluorescent light, attracting prey to their tentacles, which are covered in stinging nematocysts. Like all jellies and their relatives, nhirudos inject venom through little needle-like structures in these cells. The venom is powerful enough to kill tiny creatures, but these jellies prefer to latch onto much larger prey. Unique among jellies, nhirudos will embed the barbs of its nematocysts into larger creatures and use them to suck the blood directly from its victims veins. The venom numbs the area, preventing the host from realizing the nhirudo has grabbed it. Eventually, the jelly will drink its fill and fall off like a tick or leech, often having grown much brighter in color because of its blood meal. If the jelly has eaten from an especially magical creature, it will often develop a purplish tinge. Drinking the blood of magical creatures doesn't seem to have much direct effect on the jellies, as they can't actively pursue creatures and mainly latch onto whatever they bump into, but nhirudos do seem to drink for longer when attached to magical creatures.

Vesperbat
A high-pitched whine is coming from within this egg.

The much-maligned distant cousin of honeybats, vesperbats don't produce any sweet treats but they do deliver painful stings. Their barbed tails are used to kill small prey items and are thus armed with painful venom. However, this venom is harmless to most humans. The only real danger comes if someone stung is allergic or disturbs the caves where vesperbats live. They form massive nests made of chewed wood pulp of a similar consistency to paper, which when it hardens, camouflages perfectly with the rough surface of the cave walls. The nests are warm, secure places where the bats can sleep, but because of their fragility, a careless wanderer could easily bust a hole in the surface and ruin weeks of work. This is especially dangerous in the winter months when the bats sleep, so they defend their nests ferociously, swarming any intruder who wanders too close.

BATS TOO

[Ktanaqui]

Whoo!
And the Mortifelis are back <3<3

[Sanax]

Oh god, I'm gonna have to pass on the Nhirudos... I'm deathly grossed out by Jellyfish. x-x

I am, however, excited to grab pairs of the past Hallooweenies from the Black Market, as well as some Vesperbats, Mortifelis and Decessus! I hope to get a decent amount of those before they leave.

I also wonder what the think from Remy's drink does? Changes Xisitaks, maybe? Cause it mentions spiders and they're spiders... ._.

Also, is there a badge for this event? :O

[Natakiro]

Nice to see the Mortifelis again; need to nab a few! And just going by the name "Vesperbat", I know I want a ton of them; excited for my first event here

"You reach out for the egg, but someone else takes it before you do" is gonna be my theme with my pingy internet until it calms down a little
