My first Aerlo ❤️
Old Germanic form of Adelaide.
Means "noble type", from the French form of the Germanic name Adalheidis, which was composed of the elements adal "noble" and heid "kind, sort, type". It was borne in the 10th century by Saint Adelaide, the wife of the Holy Roman emperor Otto the Great. In Britain the parallel form Alice, derived via Old French, has historically been more common, though this form did gain some currency in the 19th century due to the popularity of the German-born wife of King William IV, for whom the city of Adelaide in Australia was named in 1836.

About Aerlo Eggs

This creature is endangered.

Aerlo eggs have unique properties; one of the more dangerous properties is that, if you touch the egg with your bare skin, it'll freeze straight through most of the exposed skin. Depending on how long you held the egg, this freezing burn can rapidly travel to and through other human tissue. This is why these eggs require a unique extraction from the Egg Cave. If this egg gets too warm, it'll melt. So most Ark residents resort to putting Aerlo eggs in their freezers.

About the Aerlo Creature

Aerlo can only survive in exceptionally cold temperatures. Thus it is rare that Aerlo are found on Ark (considering it's a tropical island and all). Aerlo are amphibious creatures; to keep cool, they go straight down to the depths of the ocean. Aerlo will rarely surface in Ark Bay because they cannot physically withstand the warmth of tropical waters. In addition, Aerlo are very smart creatures who are very protective of their young. If you ever do see an Aerlo surface in Ark Bay, take it all in -- it doesn't happen frequently!
