[Lo-W4] Light Bean Axolotl I
Where did they come from?
Appearance:
Light Bean Axolotls literally just look like axolotls, with one difference. Unlike the external gills, axolotls have five "whiskers" with light beans to each side; three bigger ones and two smaller ones in-between. And they have two additional extended light beans growing around their tail.
Like axolotls, they have four legs with tiny hands on each of them with which they can grab things. The finned tail helps them with moving through the water.
Colors:
LBAs are mostly a soft pink. Sometimes, you can find a more saturated version or even soft purple or soft red LBAs, but they are usually in a pinkish tone. The fins at their tail are always more red than the body, meaning that a pink LBA will have red fins, and a red one will have orange fins. A purple one will obviously then have pink fins.
The light beans can come in any color possible and are usually based on Grifix magic. The color of the Grifix magic can mix and the light beans will always be in the color of the Grifix magic(s). The colors mix the same way as analogically mixing colors work (meaning, that essentially if you mix too many colors, the light beans will become brown). Sometimes, if LBAs manage to do so, they will have rainbow light beans.
Habitat:
These lil critters live exclusively in the Frozen North. Despite not looking like it, they are actually very much accustomed to the cold! The snow feels warm to them and they love to cuddle into the snow, creating a blanket or even an igloo out of it. As such, they easily overheat in warmer temperatures. Anything warmer than 0°C (32°F) is too warm for them. Essentially, their feel good temperature is the same as for snow.
Diet:
These creatures do not eat! :D
They have no need to eat as they get all of their nutritions over the air because they breathe in magic and transform that magic into nutrients. However, they do have a mouth. But they still don't eat. If you offer them food, they will decline. Some might even outright hate you.
Hunting:
Since LBAs don't have food to hunt, they are not really hunting anything at all.
Instead, they have about three ways to breathe in magic: the first is over their skin, the second over the gills they still posses, and the third is over their nostrils and the lungs coming with them.
Unlike actual axolotls, LBAs evolved to be able to survive on land as well as in water. Their gills close when there's no water around and likewise, their nostrils close when they dive back into the water.
