Female Hatchling
Name: unnamed
Species: Vedhrmarr
Birthday: Friday, February 26, 2016

Element: Water
Vedhrmarr hatchlings are surprisingly agile given their extra legs, but on bad footing or when they're excited, they will often tangle themselves up and fall on their noses. Fortunately they're sturdy creatures, and when balanced are fast enough that they're often little more than silvery or green blurs. Friendly and affectionate, vedhrmarr hatchlings grow fast but should not be ridden until they're full adults, to allow their long legs time to adjust to their weight. Their horns don't grow in until they're fully grown and are more for decoration than for real fighting.
Vedhrmarr were long thought to be a trick of stormlight, appearing just on the edges of storms when the light is murky and the air is thick. They don't often appear during clear weather in the wild, but magi can see them running across the Foenaran grassland when storms sweep in from the ocean. They're strong and sturdy creatures, capable of travelling great distances even with a rider and supplies. Like their hvitamarr cousins, they have a particular fondness for poetry, especially the kind known as kenning. The silver male is most often associated with milder storms while the green female often foretells the arrival of damaging winds and hail. Vedhrmarr are very loyal to their magi and their magi's loved ones, and although they aren't as aggressive as their hvitamarr cousins, they will defend their family - including magi members - to the death.
