General Info
Chrysaora Basilisk are the prevalent equine creatures that inhabit the world Lucent. They roam by the hundreds, using their unique hooves to score the uneven rock and track down their most vital source of nourishment; evil. The relationship between Chrysaora and humans is a complex one. Chrysaora vocalize like horses, but are also thought to have a syrinx much like birds do and have been recorded displaying a variety of sharp, avian sounds. Their eyes layer over with a dark, murky black until their normal eye color pierces through in a great ball of electric light, radiating toward their victim's open eyes and paralyzing them. The Glare is able to stop both human and creature, and after a few days, unique to other forms of basilisk, the paralyzed being transforms into a sea nettle.
Orphan Rescue Event wrote:The story goes like this;
A human trapper had stolen many chrysaora foals and was selling them in a underground black market. A organization of people stopped him and rescued the foals, and are now trying to adopt them out. Each of the foals needs an experienced owner to love and raise them. We're counting on you, the members of the chry community, to give these babes a second chance at life.

The foal lay apart from the others. He was swaddled in a blanket and still shivering, his shoulders twitching with the effort; and his color was so exquisite even under the fluorescent lights, the vivid orange of his mane and tail. He sneezed as I watched, shaking his head disdainfully and rubbing his nose against the coarseness of the wool.
"That one," I said, turning to face the volunteer who was helping place the foals with new owners. I had startled her with my outburst and said softer, "I want to work with that one."
She gave me a warm smile and straightened up. "Good," she said with an approving nod. "Go say hi then."
I ventured closer to the foal, who monitored me with intelligent eyes. I had one Basilisk at home, a half-wild stallion named Ellery, and I was used to being careful around him and his powerful gaze. I looked at the floor and eased down onto my knees. The floor was damp, no doubt to make the foals more comfortable, and the wetness soaked into the legs of my jeans.
"Hi there," I whispered. The foal tilted his head, blinked his eyes. I kept my hands to myself though the temptation to touch was almost overwhelming. "You're just brand new, aren't you?"
When I had first heard of the black market bust I'd known right away that I had to come see the foals for myself. It was such a tragedy, somebody thinking they could steal these foals right out from under their parents' nose and sell them to the highest bidder. I looked down at the little colt before me and couldn't help but feel a pang in my heart.
"It's alright buddy," I said softly. "If you want, you could even come home with me."
The foal scrutinized me. After a moment he stretched his neck out and ever so gently prodded my hand with his nose. I turned my hand slightly, to give him access to my fingers, and he rubbed his muzzle against my hand, half-closing his eyes. I smiled. I knew right then and there I was going to give him a home.
"Alright, Icarus," I said, scratching his chin with my fingers. "Let's go home, kid."
