Ofomfazsi (ID: o4mFZs)

Grouping: Elemental

The Diamondeye Quartzback lives deep within caves, causing light layers of frost to consistently form around wherever they choose to nest. Their vision may be poor, but their hearing is excellent. Normally they are quite docile, but if they sense danger they won't hesitate to defend themselves by attempting to freeze their assailant solid. Making loud noises or attempting to sneak up on one is the surest way to get attacked. The safest way to navigate around one is quietly and far away from it, but if it can't be avoided then it is best to appear as indifferent to its presence as possible. Despite being adapted to the pitch black environment of underground, they fare quite well outside in the sunlight.

Their feelers are their best way of interacting with their surroundings, so if one happens to brush its feelers against someone or something then it likely doesn't feel threatened by whatever it is that's being observed. While they are sensitive to sound and can be easily spooked by unfamiliar ones, it quickly learns the source of sounds it regularly encounters. They are very easy to teach verbal commands to, with some individuals being capable enough to complete more complex tasks such as being told to retrieve a specific item from somewhere it is familiar with.
