I always like to google the names they announce before they hatch to see if I can get an idea of what it might be and see if they used any correlation pictures so I am interested to see if this looks like what I looked up earlier. Some type of creature with arms and legs with a face in the center as the body? Sounds cool to me.

Yeah but, in this case that doesn't really help. To filch something just means to steal something, and olive and thistle could either refer to their colours or what they like to steal. or both. And going by the descriptions I'm inclined to believe it's just referring to their colours and their habit of stealing things.

that said,

Filchers are not particularly useful companions, being large and hungry, but unwilling to carry more than about a hundred pounds at once. As youngsters, they are mostly helpless despite their active mobility, meaning any magi wishing to raise one much be alert at all times. They can be crafty when they want to be, breaking into jewelry drawers and lock boxes with their nimble fingers. Unlike some other denizens of the Keep, filchers have little interest in anything inedible, and are less likely to steal a rare necklace than throw it on the floor or out the window. A patient magi may find they can use the selective palate of a filcher to their advantage, as the creatures can be bribed to do almost anything for a well-seasoned pastry or candied apple.

Descriptions are the same

Nice, I was right about them being thieves!

I love the hatchlings, but I can't help but expect something mildly horrifying when it turns around :lol:

No one is quite sure how the filchers of Silva Forest became so picky, but despite their need to consume large quantities of food, they are highly selective about what foods they eat. As a result, the creatures live in large groups, sharing food at communal caches to keep each other fed. They are flighty creatures, though they get along well with their own kind and those raised in captivity may adopt many species into their family groups as long as they get enough to eat. Feeding filchers is a constant struggle, as they know very well what they prefer to eat, but what they prefer tends to include exceedingly expensive truffles, herbs, and prize-winning fruits and vegetables. Contrary to popular belief, these creatures do not cook the ingredients they steal, but they do sometimes combine them to flavor. They quite enjoy a well-cooked meal, though, and as well as being bribed by seasonal sweets, some chefs will keep filchers around to help them find the best quality ingredients.

Not sure if the adults have dimorphism or not
