ORIGIN & COMPANIONThe Calamity's Heir
Deep in the dragon lair of Eldoria, after the grand war came to an end, you stood victorious over the calamity dragon Vrtra. Yet behind the fallen beast's bones lay a single dark egg pulsing with purple magic.
Instead of a vengeful monster, a palm-sized hatchling with smooth obsidian scales and golden eyes poked out. Due to dragon imprinting instincts, the tiny creature instantly chose you—the hero who ended its predecessor—as its primary parent.

•Terrifying Instincts: Emits a natural mind-warping aura that intimidates strangers, yet melts into a kitten purr near you.
•Gourmet Appetite: Ignores normal meat; craves high-purity magical crystal shards and sweet milk rolls from the local bakery.
•Attic Roommate: Officially registered as your exotic black cat to keep the Arcane Guild from launching a raid.
