These blue egg has a strange bubble around it, and floats away if not held tightly.
These magnificent companions spend most of the year under water, peacefully living out their lives. Aurora whales seem to have a complicated hierarchy, with a leader directing the herd and others caring for the young. Though there are few creatures that would attack whales, krakens do try from time to time. To combat them, these whales work together, using their numbers to their advantage. Should an aurora whale become seriously injured, they will seek out a magi or mermaid for help healing. Their most vulnerable time is when they migrate to the Arkene. They do so in the autumn, before harsh weather hits. Aurora whales rise above the water in great numbers, floating through the air as if it were an ocean. During this long trip, whales can reach the height of clouds, or descend low enough to brush the tops of trees. These whales follow the same migratory paths every year, just as they have for centuries. These trips last up to several weeks, and whales will take energy by munching on the tops of trees as they pass by. Hatchlings almost never undertake this trip, but are left behind until they have grown strong enough. Younger whales who embark on this journey are slower than the larger adults, and must consume more food in order to keep up. Aurora whales love all manner of fruits, and will often attack orchards and eat all of their apples. For this reason, people try to collect their harvests before aurora whales pass overhead. Once they have reached their destination, whales submerge beneath a specific body of water. A hot spring flows through this water, and the whales will remain here until winter's grasp begins to loosen. They will retrace their paths once spring has come once again, bringing young whales from the Arkene with them.
