This small blue is compact from tip to tail, an economy of form and motion with no spare lines. His muzzle is short and blunt, with razor sharp top teeth protruding visibly even when his mouth is closed. Small eyes would likely be described as beady were they not the typical draconic whirl of colored facets, shadowed by overhanging eyeridges beneath stubby headknobs. His neckridges are so sharp they are nearly spikes, arrowing down his muscled neck and almost to the spade of his strong, lean tail. A wash of nearly consistent grey-blue covers his leathery hide, the slate tones melding easily with stone or shadow. Subtle whorls of paler cornflower and darker granite emphasize the ripple of muscle and leave him to blend into invisibiltiy when still, while the flare of his small wings are all cloud and fog.
Egg Name and Description
Serene Pastures Egg
Of average size and entirely normal shape and proportions, there's nothing particularly outstanding at all about this egg. There's a faint washing of pale green over its leathery shell that slowly mingles and turns into a pale sky blue. If anything, the plainness and sheery ordinariness of this egg are what makes it stand out from the rest.
Hatching Message
Serene Pastures Egg sits in obscurity, so plain and average and ordinary it might be overlooked entirely. It fades into the background, spotted only by those with an eye for things that slip into the shadows. But then it makes itself known, rocking so suddenly and with such force it goes spilling down the little hill it has perched upon, spinning across the sand as if attacking its neighbors or the nearby candidates.
The force of Serene Pastures Egg's tumble sends it into the nearest egg, halting its progress but leaving it with a dark crack from tip to base. Darkness reigns behind the jagged fissure, only the reddish glint of one hungrily whirling eye peers out into the light of day. There is a high-pitched creel that is nearly a screech, and with a shudder more cracks join that first.
From unobtrusive to furious, the Serene Pastures Egg explodes. The compact blue within flares his wings, hissing as he pushes shell shrapnel outward in all directions, shaking off the bits that remain. He is quick and predatory, striking out from the remains of his now forgotten home with one thing on his mind - unsuspecting prey.

Hatchling Desc, Inspiration and Egg Messages by Enkavir
The Chupacabra is a creature said to inhabit parts of the Americas, most specifically areas of Latin America and the southern United States. The name literally translates into "goat sucker" in Spanish, due to the creature's habit of sucking its prey dry of blood. The reported appearance differs, but it is rarely spotted, attacks fiercely, and some of the common themes are a greyish , a ridge of spikes down the back and long fangs which I chose to incorporate. More info on the chupacabra can be found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chupacabra.
