To the residents of Ark City and all of the wonderful inhabitants of Ark: today is a day of historic proportions. Today is a day that, I believe, will never be topped so long as this beautiful island exists. I am here to announce that, with the help of the successful funding from thousands of Ark residents, we have genetically reconstructed a full, living Calla creature from the mysterious Feather that once puzzled us.
Today is not only a day where we can marvel at nature's wonders, but a day where we commemorate the gift of science and its power. Science is not simply an understanding of the world around us. Science is a tool we can use to advance good. However, we must recognize that science can also be abused and that we may overstep our bounds. The good that we advance with science today is the Calla: a creature that will add to Ark's biodiversity and human enjoyment.
For those of you who do not know, on November 11, 2009, the Science and Research Center discovered a mysterious Feather we believed may be linked to the Calla. After 500 million EC in graciously-given funding, we purchased the appropriate equipment to analyze this feather. Thankfully, our hunch was correct. Contained within the Feather are chromosomes and DNA that are extremely similar to both eagles and horses. After extracting this DNA from the feather and injecting this DNA into a living animal cell, it grew and grew into a full Calla that The Archives told us existed.
Calla are a majestic cross between an eagle and a horse. They are able to soar high to dangerous elevations; elevations where humans would normally die due to the scarcity of oxygen. Not only can they fly and transport humans by air from their eagle heritage, but they pack an extremely dangerous punch with their back hooves if an attack occurs. Calla are loyal only to the first human it lays its sight on.
The Science and Research Center have made 5 functional Calla. More can, and will, be made. This process, naturally, is extremely costly and expensive. Only the most privileged of Ark citizens will be able to afford to own a Calla.
Join us, Thursday, May 27, at 5:00 pm ECT for the release of the first Calla into the wild. You will see it in all of its splendor. After the release, Calla will be available for purchase at the Science and Research Center (for EC).
This Feather is magnificent. It's the Feather that changed it all.
(not a Cash Shop item, available for EC)

I'm with you elluwah. I too hope it is moderately expensive for the reasons you said.
gamekatt101 • 22 May 2010, 3:00 AM
Well, it wasn't a griffin like I thought, but...WOO HOO, CALLA! 😊 *grins* It's about time.
gemstone • 22 May 2010, 3:01 AM
Just here for views. 😊
vithevampire • 22 May 2010, 3:06 AM
WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! I need to collect EC! 😃
ksac512 • 22 May 2010, 3:06 AM
I think people who donated 1 million or more should get a discount or something XD
someone123 • 22 May 2010, 3:09 AM
1 question will it be released at the cave b4 it is being sold at the S&RC;
klemicat • 22 May 2010, 3:15 AM
omimgod...how much is it!!!!!????do you think it will be like 1 million, or 100k, or what?
ksac512 • 22 May 2010, 3:16 AM
I hope to God it's not 1 million for the Calla. Because finals are going on next week at my school, and I have NO TIME for feedings...
someone123 • 22 May 2010, 3:18 AM
i think its 100k but i guess its all up to ian
ksac512 • 22 May 2010, 3:19 AM
100k would be really, REALLY nice XDD And, true, it is Ian's decision, so I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
someone123 • 22 May 2010, 3:21 AM
well 1,000,000 is almost unreachable in egg cave so it will probably be 100,000 to 200,000 ec
klemicat • 22 May 2010, 3:22 AM
Hmmm...i think it will be like the lutari on neo, untradeable and unabandonable...it says its loyal only to 1st human it lays eyes on...
someone123 • 22 May 2010, 3:25 AM
@klemicat: maybe or if it gets traded it will fly off and go back to u but what u said is more meaningful
elluwah • 22 May 2010, 3:27 AM
1 million is definitely NOT unreachable, but you really have to work for it. But, yes, we'll see on Thursday how much it'll be ^^
someone123 • 22 May 2010, 3:30 AM
though it will take days to get 1,000,000 ec
yukitsuki • 22 May 2010, 3:38 AM

arabianninja • 22 May 2010, 6:34 AM
We don't know yet. But it will sure be a lot. I guess about 500,000 up to 1,000,000 EC. And now that I reread the text ...
arabianninja • 22 May 2010, 6:36 AM
.... I think that the Calla will be some kind of Hippogriff (due to where it says that it's DNA resembles a horse's and an eagle's) 😊
exempje1 • 22 May 2010, 6:41 AM
Come on. ._. It's still 5 days, enough feeding-time before then.
