Eggs and Pets

With the exploration of Perelandra well under way, several new species have been discovered.  While these creatures are normally untameable, it has been found that if raised from eggs, people have been able to form a sort of mutual understanding and respect with them, enabling them to become exotic pet followers and status symbols.  It takes a little money, lots of time, devotion, and luck to raise one however, and you have to be sure you can take care of these creatures properly. It's a big responsibility!
'''
=== Where to find them ===
While exploring Perelandra, your group may encounter a ‘secret’ in an unexplored hex. There is a chance that the ‘secret’ is a nest. When a nest is discovered, the DM can decide the type of nest, or they may elect to have you roll randomly to determine what kind of nest it is.  When you return from the expedition and give this information to the pathfinder guild, NIKO will send out an expedition to obtain the eggs. This will always be a difficulty 4-5 mission. NIKO has a waiting list of adventurers who want to obtain an egg, so make sure to sign up on that list.  Preference will be given to the one who discovered the nest, however.
'''
=== How to raise them ===
When the eggs are returned, adventurers may purchase an incubator to hatch the egg. These incubators can be purchased from NIKO for 750g.  After that, the hatchling must be raised to maturity. This takes a long time, and during this time, the creatures are considered RP pets. When the creature matures, it can be convinced to aid you from time to time using their special abilities, but since they are not designated as animals, they cannot be taught tricks. If you build a “habitat” room on your property, this provides everything needed to raise, feed and maintain this creature while it is not out adventuring with you.
'''
=== How to use them ===
Much like pack or riding animals that accompany you on adventures, these pets are not considered to be “in combat”, and therefore are in no danger of being attacked, unless you choose to put them in harm’s way. Upon maturation, the creature gains an ability which you can activate as a move action.  Once the ability has been activated, it is considered to be used up whether or not it is successful
