Description



About Altum Eggs

The mystical Altum eggs are a spectacle to the eye, bearing beautiful ornamental designs. But they shouldn't be removed from the sea. If the Altum egg goes without being in salt water for too long, the baby Altum will lose some color from it's plumage. This can be potentially limiting to the spread of the Altum species, as females are only drawn to male Altums with the most beautiful plumage.

More about the Altum

The Altum only hatches at the start of the rising tide. A young Altum can swim, but only the grown Altum can harness and control the tide. The grown Altum can adjust when it is rising tide for a period of time, but their powers are strongest in the full moon, when they can fully alter the tide. The Altum likes to flock in groups of 15 to 20, focusing on raising the young to be curious, courageous, and confident. They are generally helpful and protective and have been sighted to help baby turtles out to sea.

The Altum as a species have a knack for thievery. When they get the chance, they'll steal your lunch, your phone, and your dignity. So, hold on to your belongings at the southeast beach, you never know what shiny object they might be attracted to...

@jellifysh @ricefishie no bother at all! I love looking at creature suggestions, so pings on such topics are always welcomed. ❀️ This bird is drop dead gorgeous, so simply done yet stunningly elegant. The colors flow very nicely together and I love the beautiful oceanic feeling it gives off. I really want one now! 😊 also love the simplicity of the egg description, it's nicely put together as well.

What a beautiful creature, I love that it's water themed! That baby stage is adorable and I really like how the patterns are placed on the adult stage. Can't wait to learn more about them and hopefully we see it in Eggcave soon😊

@jellifysh Oooh, I love how elegant your creature is (and how it makes me think of A:TLA xP). I really like the little designs of the waves. 😊

Haha, yeah. I might've been thinking of some design I saw in LoK or A:TLA while I was drawing the waves... πŸ˜‹ Glad you like it, though!

@ricefishie Cool. πŸ˜ƒ I hope it gets made, because I would probably name it Waterbend instead of my Luryuken. ^^

@jellifysh
Aw, I thought it would be a bit longer considering the wait. x3 Still a decent description though. However, I think that maybe there should be a bit more spotlight on the creature's tide-controlling powers. Perhaps they're stronger when the moon is present in the area, or when it's full?

@jellifysh @ricefishie

Oh my goodness guys, I think this is one of my favorite suggestions on here @_@ I think the part in the description about the Altum's connection to the sea is very cool! And I like that you've added the wave pattern on its neck and legs in reference to that! The color scheme is so pretty, and it's just such a graceful looking creature overall 😸 I hope it gets made!!

Going to repost this, hopefully it gets made. I'm also re-writing the description, it wasn't one of my best ones.

Pings!

@jello I really love this, but I think the design could use more color- perhaps add a bit of purple or teal? c:
Looking forward to seeing the new description 😊
I like the idea overall- Good job! πŸ˜ƒ

@crown Thanks! I'm writing the description right now, but it kinda takes a bit to perfect it. It took me an hour to write for this fire salamander thing.

Pings!

@duckhunter a ping means you've been invited to look at the forum. If there is no message beside your ping, it means that they just want you to look at the forum post
