[CANDLE WITCHES] Drakin (companion species)

had this idea yesterday!

these little guys will be like a companion species for Candle Witches but unlike the familiars they're not created by them

They're some sort of mini dragons. They are born from eggs but these eggs (there can be up to 2 Drakins in one egg, twins) can only hatch if they're warmed with a Candle Witch's fire, eventually the Drakin will born and just like the Candle Witches they also have some magic properties including the fire control ability and share the fire-coloration rarity with the Candle Witches, so that a Drakin hatched with one-colored fire will have one-colored fire themselve and so

They're the small, more or less size of a gecko and can breath fire, they also have  adhesive toe pads that allow them to walk on different surfaces and even in vertical surfaces, some of them may have wings as well. They usually have slit pupils and these can dilate depending on their mood, for example when they're sad

As they need a Candle Witch fire to hatch from their eggs is common that they'll feel naturally attached to the Candle Witch that hatched their egg thus they'll consider them as their father/mother figure. This relationship between Candle Witches and Drakins comes from several thousands of years ago as Candle Witches have been hatching and raising them for a while, some Candle Witches even dedicate their lifes to protect the species as they're sometimes stolen and sold in the black market as a "magical resource"

They're omnivorous and they usually feed on insects and plants. They can be really annoying when they're hungry because they make some weird noises when they want to be feed. The sounds they make are similar to the sounds of a penguin but they can also do bird noises and even whistle and hiss


They're very playful as well as curious and just like their dragon ancestors, they like to collect treasures and store them in their nests, they especially love coins and gems, they can come to be very greedy sometimes and this may cause them some troubles here and there so it's better to keep an eye on them
