Malginae

The Malginae are creatures created by Cleaver.

Appearances
Their egg looks like a pearl roughly the size of a marble. They’re in all sorts of different colors, though they only come in pastel colors. The caterpillar is often the same color as the egg, though fuzzy looking. The chrysalis looks like a Monarch butterfly chrysalis, but the color of an opal. The adult is a moth slightly bigger than a teddy bear hamster. The moth is very fluffy and the same pastel color of it’s egg and caterpillar form. Their wings are usually a creamy brown or white color with a colorful marking, most commonly pink, orange, or black. Their antennae look like really long fox/cat ears and their face has an almost fox-like appearance to it.

They typically don't wear clothing, but they usually don't mind it.

General Personalities
Once they imprint on you, they’re loyal to you for life. They are incapable of betrayal. While their interpretation of loyalty can be screwed at times, they would never intentionally harm the person they’ve imprinted on. Other than that, their personalities can be pretty varied.

Abilities
From the moment they hatch, they begin gathering magical energy from the air around them. They can’t use this energy until they reach their adult form. When threatened, they can use this energy to create a protective shield. The shield is pretty weak and can be broken pretty easily by deities or anyone that’s powerful. After creating this shield, they won’t be able to create a new one for 1-2 hours. They can also enchant people to like them or not want to hurt them, though it’s very weak and easy to overcome. It also doesn’t work if they’re already aware of this power. They can also project their emotions onto the people they’ve bonded with.

They communicate by projecting their emotions and feelings onto others.

Backstory
originally, they were Cleaver's tears of gratitude, which turned to eggs when they hit the ground. She gave these eggs to to the people who had caused these tears. Of course, not all of the eggs were taken, and it still is possible to find more of these odd creatures.
