Species Notes

Grouping: Reptilian, Avian

Vitreverns are a common pest that nests along the Chroma Coast, stealing anything that looks shiny as soon as they can get in a researcher's blind spot. Though not aggressive, they are incessant and unafraid of larger creatures and rely on their numbers to swarm and annoy those creatures—and researchers—away from the object of interest. The demeanor of a wild Vitrevern changes depending on the size of its swarm; in large numbers, they are gregarious and bold; an adult is fully willing to land near a non-hostile creature and look around for pretties. A lone Vitrevern, however, becomes skittish and flighty—darting into the air at any creature approaching, chirping loudly in an effort to call its swarm. If cornered in this scenario, the Vitrevern will deliver a painful nip to its attacker and fly away.

Despite their appearance, Vitreverns are not actually made of glass. Rather, they have glossy, translucent scales that are smooth to the touch and refract light, making them difficult to see in large swarms on a sunny day: each individual will reflect light on its peers, and it can be difficult and painful to attempt to look directly at the swarm and focus on one creature. They use a similar tactic in their nests; Vitrevern eggs are also reflective of light, and create this effect in nests of glass and anything shiny the parent was able to gather from the surrounding area. Originally it was unknown how these reptiles found the glass needed, until a wild specimen was seen spitting out a bright, sparkling substance reminiscent of white fire in order to melt nearby sand into glass. They only seem to use this sparingly, rarely using it in defense and never when hunting. Vitreverns are carnivorous scavengers, content to steal the kill of a larger predator, but will willingly attack small reptiles for a quick meal.

Owner's Notes

Thin ice or... Glass? Crystal?
With these glasses on i still can't recognise a glare in the sky. Is this possible to tell if that is an object or a creature?

Iswunn.
Ice dragon, if put it simply. A thunder and snowstorm patron.
Not many things can be said about the great and awesome snowguard, but it is known that he, basically, used to be a playful dragonet.
He and Sade are seem to be in good relationship and most likely see each other as close friends. They are living far away from each other, and Sade sometimes visits him in the mountains.
It was mention that they were good partners in the long past, when they still were small dragons, even younger than now. This - the history - might be somehow related to why he chose not to leave home. Also, from these times, they never fought together again.
