Creature #1350 Paper Butterfly (Artificer Shop) 1.231Image

Image
This small egg is made out of parchment.

Spoiler
Paper butterflies need no food or water, in fact, unless imbued with a water repellent spell, water can make them turn to mush. Once they form into butterflies, the magic used to make these will last for only a few days before it wears off, but the spell can be reapplied multiple times, or until the paper butterfly itself is damaged beyond repair. It never lands, constantly fluttering about, so if you want to keep one, it is best to not take them outside, otherwise it could fly off, never to be seen again. One should take care to keep these butterflies away from flames, as they are flammable, and one does not want a ball of flame fluttering about indoors.

A paper butterfly egg doesn't hatch, more so, it reforms into a small caterpillar. It requires paper to grow at this stage and will eat any paper it can find. They need an almost constant supply of paper, as if they go too long without eating, they begin to regress back into an egg. If this happens, the egg could literally crumble away into nothing. It is always a good idea to keep any important papers stored away as they will become lunch if left unattended around one of these caterpillars. Once it has eaten enough paper, it will reform into a paper butterfly.

One of the more easily craftable creatures from the artificers association, the paper butterfly is perfect for children who love art. If a magi draws onto the paper used to craft the egg, the image will appear on the wings of the adult butterfly, making them truly unique to the magi who made them. Some magis hold the belief that if you write a wish upon its wings and set it free, that wish will come true. Children love paper butterflies, often time, it is the first spell a child will learn.
Creature #1351 Zabyna's Solar Maalas (Preservation Shop) 2.800Image

Image
This egg is moist and sticky.

Zabyna's Solar Maalas Adult

Spoiler
Zabyna's maalas are less energetic once they reach adulthood. They still love to play fetch, catching the sticks midair and excitedly returning with them for another round. As their names suggest, the lunar adults are more active during nighttime, while the solar adults are active during day time. Unfortunately, they need plenty of attention, which turns training and grooming the maalas into exhausting tasks. However, the maalas love to be groomed. The fine scales that cover their wings need to be removed constantly, as the maalas' wings would become too heavy otherwise. Also, if the maalas don't drink enough water, the scales grow in fewer numbers, preventing the creatures from flying. The scales have high magical properties that increase the effect of simple healing potions tenfold when mixed with them. Those who oversee the adult maalas send shipments of scales to the Keep regularly. In return, many magi volunteer to help care for the maalas, even if just for a few weeks.

Zabyna's maala hatchlings are very active despite their chubby physique. In many ways, the hatchlings act like puppies. The hatchlings love to play fetch, sniff everything and sight, or show their bellies for a scratch or two. Zabyna has developed training tasks for the hatchlings. These tasks keep the maalas occupied and alert at all times. They feed on their own, chewing on the fig and date leaves found in the Solnis' Ruins orchards. Unfortunately, the hatchlings are as careless as the adults are, and moving them near the oasis' waters is mandatory. They fall asleep whenever they feel like it, uncaring about their surroundings. Like the eggs, the hatchlings need to be close to the water so their bodies would not dry out in the scorching sun.

Named after their main caretaker, Zabyna, the maalas live exclusively in the Solnis' Ruins. As big as a man's forearm, maalas feed on the figs and dates that grow in these ruins. Unlike others of their kind, these creatures need to consume water to preserve the shine of their wings. For many years the maalas have been considered endangered, and only through Zabyna's toil did these creatures survive. The maala adults care little about their eggs. As the hatchling develops inside the egg, the shell has to be kept moist at all times. Otherwise, the hatchling would dry out and die before being ready to hatch. As they have little interest in bringing water to the eggs, most of their young don't survive the scorching desert days. The maalas lay their eggs on the ground, an easy meal for lazy predators. Keeping the eggs safe from predators as well as moist is an exhausting task. However, Zabyna cares for them tirelessly and assures the species' survival, for its magic is too valuable.

I'm glad these are purchasable. I'm still trying to complete all my Prism Fox sets and I think I'd have a mental break if I had to worry about collecting these from the stream too.

(Though that might say more about my fragile mental state than anything else...)

Love the one that looks like a Monarch caterpillar, but was hoping for something else that has yet to be released. Did I read right... they'll be able to be bred? I thought you couldn't do that with Artificer eggs.
