Female Hatchling
Name: unnamed
Species: Mountain Calour
Birthday: Tuesday, September 1, 2015
Owner: freakazoid
Element: Fire 
Calour hatchlings are eager to please and have a strong instinct to be trained, but have very little control over their magical abilities. Calour hatchlings tend to be wreathed in rippling flames nearly constantly, as they absorb far too much heat. More than one magi at the keep has woken up freezing when their calour hatchling absorbed their fireplace's heat, or had to come back early from an expedition when their calour frostburned the food they were supposed to help preserve. Despite this, calours will keep trying to use their magic, and its magi will have to be patient in not only training it, but keeping themselves and their quarters at a stable temperature.
Calours are large, strong animals, but despite their appearance they are mild-mannered and sociable. The range of the mountain calour spans the entirety of the Alasre mountains, and they can be found at the base or at the frigid peaks. Calours tend to live in small packs. A pack typically consists of two breeding individuals and their offspring, with the oldest offspring typically driven off after three years with their parents. The newly lone calour will then travel, with those from the peaks traveling to the base of the mountains and the opposite for those beginning life at the base. The calour's magical ability allows them the freedom to live in the harsh conditions at the frigid peaks of the mountains. Calours can absorb and store heat from any source. They can absorb heat from the air around them, and even from open flames, rendering the fire to ash while they then create the fire around their own bodies. There have been stories of magi having their fires stolen or torches put out by passing calours. Mountain calours have a limit to how much heat they can absorb, however, and once their tails light aflame, they cannot absorb any more until the heat burns itself out.
