=== Egg ===
This pristine egg sits in a clear pool of water.

Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It never leaves your side when you’re unwell.
=== Mature hatchling ===
Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It never leaves your side when you’re unwell.
And look! It has grown wings! It must be close to maturing.

Wary of all strangers, the elusive Amalthean Dragons cloak themselves in mist to avoid detection. The water sources they live near are astonishingly clear and pure, and have been found to contain medicinal properties. These dragons are known for their ability to cure any disease, wound, or poison, as well as the purification of any water they come across. A blessing from an Amalthean Dragon is said to increase longevity, though they are very selective of who they will heal. An Amalthean’s horn grows from the same wood as a White Dragon’s staff and is highly sought after for its ability to channel and store potent life magic.
