#Creature 1183 - Aedalan
The Egg
Beautiful melodies drift up from this egg, especially at night.
Spoiler
Aedalan are common creatures, found all over the world, but their proliferation does nothing to dim their wonderful, uplifting songs. These songs, unique to each individual aedalan, inspire creativity in even the most uncreative souls. Many poets, especially, owe their most beloved poems to nights spent lying in flowered fields listening to the songs of the aedalan. It is also said that if an ill person is visited by an aedalan, and the aedalan spends the night singing for them, the person will wake the next morning completely cured.
Male and female Hatchlings
Spoiler
Hatchling aedalan are chunky little birds who don't yet have the ability to sing as adults do, restricted instead to amusingly terrible squawks and gurgles. They spend most of their time squatting on branches and other perches, glaring at the world around them and waiting for food. This bad-tempered look is only that; hatchling aedalan love attention and will gladly cuddle with anything that seems pleasant and warm.
Male and female Adult
Spoiler
An adult aedalan is mostly dull in colouring, except for the male's blue throat, but this allows them to blend in with forest trees and wild fields. As adults they are capable of loud, soaring songs, combining trills and whistles in unique melodies that lighten the hearts of all that hear them. Many artists of all types keep aedalan in order to hear their songs and be inspired, producing many great works throughout the world. Adult aedalan mate for life and mated pairs often combine their songs to create new and even more inspiring melodies.
