Oh man, the arkai is so lovely!

Silvan Male:


Razan Female:

Oooo, I had a feeling I was gonna love this new Arkai, prettiest of the bunch so far as I am concerned!

The arkai are gorgeous, I'm going to get really many for sure.

3 Shard Silvan Yi Qi

This small green egg has wings that flap periodically.


Female /// Male
Young yi qi are born covered in fluffy down but quickly molt it for functional plumage. They learn to fly far quicker than any bird, their spindly wings able to hold them aloft mere days after they hatch. They remain within the flock, depending on a diligent crew of adults to bring them large grubs so they can grow. At the Keep, such grubs are hard to come by, and the hatchlings make due with larger amounts of regular caterpillars and beetle larvae. They're belligerent little creatures, apparently sharp, but unusually tricky to train. Having treats on hand with which to bribe them is widely thought to be the most effective way to get them to cooperate.


Female /// Male
An adult yi qi is a spectacular sight, with wings and plumage quite unlike any other creature. Some consider them to be a distant relative of dragons, but the researchers who work with them point out the similarities between their skeletons and those of the kalistavri. Like many feathered creatures, the females are duller in color so they can guard the eggs while remaining camouflaged. The female Silvan variety is especially well-suited to this, her brown and green feathers blending almost perfectly into the forest vegetation. Males grow spectacular tail plumage and purple crests during the breeding season, and will compete with others in their flock in elaborate, high-speed aerial acrobatics.

5 Shard Razan Yi Qi

Like many feathered creatures, the females are duller in color so they can guard the eggs while remaining camouflaged. This may seem a bit odd for the Razan variety, which is bright blue, but they do a surprisingly good job of evading predators in the dark, flower-filled jungle. Males grow spectacular pennants on their wings during the breeding season, and will compete with others in their flock in elaborate, high-speed aerial acrobatics.

Glacial Arkai are 'the bomb'. ;)

Seriously though, love the colors!

So blue - right up LittleDragonfly's alley.

Happy New Year, everyone!

WHAT IF WE'RE FINALLY GOING TO GET FLYING PIGS??!?

But it's going to be the year of the earth pig. Why would that pig be able to fly? Unless it came with a catapult, of course...

I loooove this year's Arkai. The colours are gorgeous, especially the female's wings.
