Female Hatchling
Name: unnamed
Species: Swamp Arkados
Birthday: Sunday, October 1, 2023
Owner: Syndicate
Element: Fire 
These cute, round hatchlings can be found out of the water perched on tree branches, sunbathing. Their big eyes can deceive many, giving them a look of innocence. In reality, they are the opposite of that. Sudden panic attacks overcome those who approach these creatures. If in a good mood, the hatchlings will only induce mild anxiety or fear. Unfortunately, the hatchlings are always bothered by something: the sun shining too brightly in the sky, the birds chirping too loudly, or the wind blowing too softly. If the hatchlings are in a bad mood, those around them must share the same feelings - only five times worse. The arkados hatchlings change the temperature of the water particles in the air, inducing all sorts of negative emotions. Even those who overcome the fear caused by them and dare to pet them will be rewarded with bad feelings as the hatchlings are bothered by the pets just as much as by everything else.
The akardos can usually be found at the bottom of swamps, lakes, and ponds, hiding under dark-colored vegetation where the water is the coldest. Solitary and antisocial, the akardos are more likely to form bonds with humans than with other creatures. Few try to approach them, and even fewer keep them as companions, as a heart of steel is required to be in the presence of an akardos. Although the akardos would naturally be taken care of by the members of the Society of the Trident, those who specialize in dark magic are the ones who handle these creatures most of the time. An akardos' personality is apathetic at best and cruel at worst. These creatures manipulate the warmth of the water particles in the air, changing the temperature as they see fit. The temperature changes induce a variety of feelings, most of the time negative. It is rare for an akardos to create positive feelings willingly. A cold area in the presence of an akardos induces fear and anxiety. Freezing temperatures cause dread and paranoia. Only those who went through years of hardship can stay in the company of akardos, and most of the time, these people have no intention of training the akardos to raise the temperatures in hopes of providing happiness or joy.
