"Dysprositos," the Greek word for meaning hard to get at... that's me, number 66, I'm Dysprosium!

While I'm not as difficult to come across as some of my other periodic brothers and sisters, I'm actually not found freely in nature, but in certain minerals. I'm commonly mined from clay ores in southern China. I even emit hydrogen when diluted with mineral acids, and I oxide very easily. You can't cut me with a knife, but you sure can with bolt-cutters! I'm also very useful in the nuclear world.

About Cirthark Eggs

This egg was given out for Creature Release Week in December of 2012.

During the incubation of this egg a series of 30 rune-like symbols appear on the outside of this egg. Ancient Arkians used these symbols as the basis for an early runic alphabet.

About the Cirthark Creature

The last pattern of runes that appear on a Cirthark's egg are the ones that appear on its face. Many believe that these runes form a part of the creature's name and will incorporate them into the name that they give their Cirthark. The Science and Research Center has discovered that this belief isn't far from true. Cirtharks use these facial markings as part of the way they identify each other.
