Frozen Egg
Name: unnamed
Species: Cootie
Birthday: Thursday, February 14, 2013
Owner: Pheonex
Element: Neutral
This minute egg is stuck to a strand of hair.
Cooties are pests that bestow an odd affliction through their bites; their hosts become extremely friendly, to the point of foolishness. Prey will venture forth to snuggle with predators, and predators in turn will reciprocate, refusing to injure what would normally be a tasty meal. Some Magi see the odd Cooties as a blessing upon The World, spreading love and peace wherever they go. However, the reality is not nearly as nice as some would want to believe. Oftentimes, afflicted prey will be eaten by non-afflicted predators, and afflicted predators will starve to death, refusing to kill or eat. Untreated sufferers will rarely recover on their own. However, a simple potion-laden bath is often enough to eradicate Cooties from an unfortunate being, leaving them free to recover while the bites' effects wear off.
