Number 96, here! I'm Curium, a rare earth metal.

Unlike lots of the other elements, I was named after a person rather than a Greek word. I don't occur in nature at all; rather, I come along by bombarding plutonium with alpha particles. I am a possible fuel for radioisotope thermoelectric generators... but you don't need to know what that is! I even cost a full $160 per milligram, so you better not mess up with me in the lab!

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.
