Male Hatchling
Name: unnamed
Species: Ahuizotl
Birthday: Saturday, December 19, 2015
Owner: XTashX
Element: Water
Young ahuizotls are very difficult to bond with. This is because they are nothing but bundles of energy, and are hesitant to leave the safety of water. The best way to get them on land is to offer them an interesting toy. They are quite the destructive little beasts, too, and will try to break anything that catches their interest. Luckily, they're not very strong when young, so ahuizotls usually just end up rolling around with random objects, kicking and biting them. It may look funny, but it's best not to try and break up these one sided fights. Ahuizotl hatchlings have sharp claws and sharper teeth, and don't hesitate to use them.
Though ahuizotls can be found throughout the world, they only choose lakes as their homes. Lakes that have been chosen by ahuizotls never grow stagnant, and never become over-fished. It's said that anyone who does damage to an ahuizotl's lake will find themselves a target. The offender will find plants twining around their legs whenever they try to swim, threatening to pull them under. Should the person not take a hint and make amends, an ahuizotl may even leave their lake to take revenge. Ahuizotls can turn water foul, and cause gardens to dry if they wish. It's relatively rare for them to do so, however, as they rarely leave their lakes. It is more typical for them to go on land to hunt for certain foods. These companions mostly eat small fish, but have been known to eat fruits and vegetables as well. Though ahuizotls do not hunt together, they are fairly social creatures, and will even spend time with humans. Ahuizotls choose human friends sparingly, and seemingly at random. They may never bond well with their own magi, but may instead spend time with fishermen from villages, or even small children. It's pointless to try and befriend an ahuizotl; they will do as they please. They are also quite terrible at following commands, and nearly impossible to train.
