Frozen Egg
Name: unnamed
Species: Death Screamer
Birthday: Friday, November 3, 2023
Owner: Syzo
Element: Light
The soft screaming sound coming from this egg gives you a feeling of dread.
Death screamers have gained their name for their unusual wing markings. During the day they are no more remarkable than any other moth. At night, however, a glowing shape forms on their large wings which eerily looks reminiscent of a screaming skull. The fact that they do make a shrill screaming sound when agitated also adds to this spooky reputation. Despite this they are in fact harmless in themselves having no teeth or claws. Their greatest danger comes from their ability to create a glowing ball of light that surrounds them as they fly along. Probably a defence against night vision predators it has the unfortunate appearance of someone holding a lantern in the dark. Unwary travellers who follow this light off the main road can be led further and further into the dark woods. The sudden fading of the light and a horrifying deathly scream their only clue that they have been following a ghost-light and are now hopelessly lost.
