Visual Description
A mysterious, snake-slitted egg.
Lifestyle
The Nagi are amongst the oldest species living on Esmelda. Since time immemorial, they have been the guardians of Esmelda's forests and the creatures living therein. Half-plant and half-animal, the Nagi are perfectly suited to maintain the balance between the various forest creatures. It is in part due to them, that Esmelda's forests are teeming with life.
In the past, the Nagi used to hide their eggs in the deepest parts of the forest to keep them safe. The eggs were often clustered together to make optimal use of the hiding place and to keep them warm.
This has changed since the Dawn of the Caretakers though. Now that there are no more predators, there is no reason to hide the eggs. The Nagi have started to take their eggs to the high grass growing just outside the forest boundaries, and placing their eggs there. This allows the eggs to get more sunlight, which helps the creature inside grow. For this same reason, to get more sunlight, the eggs are now spaced apart instead of clustered together.
Nagi eggs are intersected with small snake-like plant buds; this is a foreshadowing of the half-plant half-animal appearance the Nagi will take on later in her life. The eggs are covered in a sticky layer of poison; a remnant from the time when predators still threatened the eggs. This poison is not useless in these civilized times though, since it can be diluted into a tea that grants the drinker visions of the past and, when the stars are right, the future. Since these visions are very intense, it's recommended that only experienced caretakers try it.
