Welcome to Eldergrove, Researcher. You were sent by the Academy to research and document the magical creatures in and around Eldergrove: #114 FERNGLEAM Type: Reptile / Mystic Habitat: Deep Grove Size: 1.3–1.6 feet (Height) Rarity: Rare APPEARANCE: A small, charming reptile covered in glowing, iridescent scales that shimmer with shades of teal and violet. It possesses large, expressive blue eyes and long, soft floppy ears. Its most striking feature is the pair of glowing butterfly wings attached to its head, complemented by a thick ruff of soft pink and purple feathers around its neck. BEHAVIOR: Highly social yet elusive, it uses its glowing wings to signal to others in the darkness of the grove. It moves with a quick, agile scuttle and is known to be quite curious about researchers who remain quiet and still. ABILITY: Prismatic Pulse. Ferngleam can cause its scales to flash a blinding array of colors, confusing potential predators and allowing for a quick escape into the shadows. HABITAT & DIET: This creature resides in the darkest, most sun-starved regions of the Deep Grove. It primarily feeds on light-rich mosses and small, mana-infused insects found near bioluminescent flora. LORE: "When the forest floor begins to shimmer without the moon's grace, you have found the home of the Ferngleam." — Eldertown Proverb TEMPERAMENT: Gentle, shy, and incredibly peaceful. It will often approach a stationary observer if offered a piece of sweet, glowing moss. ACTIVITY: Nocturnal
