Essence of Litsdnats
Stage Frozen
Derived from "neos" and "didymos," together meaning new twin, I'm periodic element 60. If you haven't guessed yet, I'm Neodymium!

I'm a bit unstable in comparison to my other rare earth metal friends, as I tarnish very rapidly when exposed to air, but I'm actually quite useful! People use me to predict earthquakes, to color glass/ceramics, and I'm even a permanent magnet. I'm also great at infrared radiation filtering, something that most of my siblings can't do!

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.
