I don't see anything just the skellion picture with a it calling it a vogelhond which means bird dog i think.

Vogelhond is it's name. I see the new egg just fine. It's green with a white spot and has what look like feathers coming out of the back base.

Looks interesting!

[Xeron]

Possibly a bird dog? Just assuming due to the name.

I'm not sure what happened. I just bought 2, put to Twitter and Yarolds and it already hatched in the second refresh. I didn't buy it even 5 minutes ago.

Either a whole load of people really want to see the creature, or there's bots. TBH, I think the second is the more likely of the two scenario's

It's like, I bought it about 2 minutes before I posted, not even that. I bought it, twittered it, put it to Yarolds and came back to the keep and it was at 97% in the first refresh. Second one, it was a hatchling at 5% something. I was hoping to get a low percentage one for a member. I'm annoyed as heck.

A young vogelhond is among the most easily trained creatures, loyal to their caretakers, magical or otherwise, from a very young age. They make hardly any noise, except when distressed, but will communicate with gestures, body language, and affectionate nudges. Some who study them think that vogelhonds may have some telepathic capabilities that allow them to read the emotions of the creatures and humans around them. Youngsters especially seem sensitive to this power, for they will often run up to play or cuddle with a person who is feeling even the slightest bit distressed. Adult vogelhonds tend to be more reserved, but they still have a tendency to try to comfort their caretakers. If hatchling vogelhonds can detect the presence of magic, they seem to disregard it, and must be trained if they are to be used to track magical anomalies.

General:

Spoiler

Vogelhonds are bred in Alveus as companion animals to hunters and wealthy dignitaries alike, popular for their intelligence and friendliness. Though their sense of smell is poor compared to dogs, they have an extra sense that allows them to detect the presence of magic. They are precise enough in this ability to hunt even in the magic-riddled lands still damaged from the magewars, and are essential in efforts to restore these regions. This power can be used in a variety of ways. During the magewars and shortly after, vogelhonds were bred to search out magi among the Alvean states, but since then, they have been used more often to search for magical creatures in places so disturbed that regular dogs become disoriented. Sometimes landowners will use a vogelhond to determine areas of magical contamination, and then cordon those off from their main estate. Because these bird-dogs can distinguish between many different types of magics, Alveans concerned with restoring contaminated areas take vogelhonds with them to determine what sort of magic is infecting an area, which will determine how they deal with it.

Ok, make it 12%. By the time I hid it in a trade, it had hit 12%
