About Fortuaith Eggs

Sometimes a suckling sound is made, as if requesting water, when a Fortuaith egg is too dry.

About the Fortuaith Creature

Fortuaith are resultant from the further selective breeding of Diminuaith in response to an ever-waning market demand for radioactive carnivorous plants. Nurseries carrying this plant species for sale insist that only good fortune is emitted and never any potentially harmful radiation, a dubious claim contested by the Science and Research Center. The same consumer protection laws that mandate exposure warnings with every sold Diminuaith also apply to selling Fortuaith.

The voracious meat-eating appetite found in its predecessor is largely absent from the subdued Fortuaith. Photosynthesis, along with snacking on the occasional insect, is used to meet any nutritional needs.
