Yeti’s Species & Essence Rare Familiar-Conjuring Elixir

Yeti Species of Galia

Classification: Elemental Beast
Region: Ascorn Mountains (Fijorn), Snowplains of Okenshield
Danger Rating: Variable (Stage I: Low — Stage V: Cataclysmic)
Tameable: Only via ritual with Yeti’s Essence

Origins and Nature

The Yeti are one of the oldest natural-born species in Galia, originating at the dawn of the world alongside dragons and fairies. They are not divine beings or summoned creatures—they are natural apex predators tied to frost, silence, and elemental stillness. No temples or religions are dedicated to them; they are part of the land, the same as glaciers and storms.

Biology and Lifecycle

Yeti reproduce asexually under natural conditions:

Each yeti carries a single fertilized embryo within its internal pouch.
Upon death, the yeti’s body nourishes this embryo, giving rise to a new generation.
This method produces only one successor per death, ensuring a slow but persistent line.

Potion-Born Divergence

Through a rare arcane ritual involving Yeti’s Essence, a Baby Yeti may be summoned. Potion-born yetis are identical in biology, but bond to their summoner and are not hostile.

Only potion-born yetis can evolve into Stage V (Ancient Elder Yeti)
Wild-born yetis are biologically capped at Stage IV and remain untamable.

Habitat and Behavior

Preferred Biomes:
Ascorn Mountains (Fijorn)
Snow-covered plains of Okenshield
Burrowing & Camouflage:
Yeti dig small depressions to curl into, leaving only a patch of fur exposed. This fur blends seamlessly with snowy terrain or white vegetation, rendering them nearly invisible when dormant.
Temperament:
Wild yetis are always hostile and cannot be trained or domesticated.

Hunting and Use in Galia

Yeti are hunted based on their evolutionary stage:

Stage	Known As	Uses
I – II	Baby Yeti / Frosthorn	Potions, arcane reagents, basic frostbound components
III – IV	Glacial Warden / Frostmaul	High-grade magical armor, elite frost gear, ritual weapon cores
V (Potion-born only)	Ancient Elder Yeti	Not hunted — universally feared as an omen of death

Ancient Elder Yeti Eggs

Reproduction Upgrade

Upon reaching Stage V, the Elder Yeti undergoes a transformation that allows it to lay eggs—a feature no prior stage possesses.

Clutch Size: Typically 20–30
Egg Characteristics:
Roughly head-sized, with frosted glass-like shells
Pulsing with pale blue light and internal arcane signatures
Fragile—can be cracked or broken through mishandling or attack
Freezing to the touch, causes frostbite when handled unprotected

Yeti Egg

Introduction

Yeti eggs are one of the rarest and most arcane phenomena in the Realm of Galia. They are only produced by Stage V Ancient Elder Yetis, the final evolution of the species. Unlike previous stages, which reproduce asexually through a death-bound embryo, Elder Yetis are biologically capable of laying large clutches of eggs.

Egg Characteristics

Size: Approximately the size of a human head
Shell: Semi-translucent, cold to the touch, smooth and slick like icy glass
Visual Features: Swirling arcane veins of blue and silver pulse faintly beneath the surface
Fragility: The shell is delicate and easily broken if mishandled—especially during transit or magical exposure
Arcane Sensitivity: Reacts passively to nearby magical energy sources

Hatching Conditions (Natural)

Yeti eggs do not require complex arcane setups to hatch. They incubate naturally when placed in cold, snow-covered terrain, such as:

Ice caves
Buried snowbanks
Former yeti burrows or lairs

Requirements for Natural Hatching:

Requirement	Details
Environment	Any snowy region (sub-zero), ideally untouched and quiet
Ambient Magic	The egg absorbs environmental arcane energy passively
Timeframe	Between 3–5 years, depending on ambient conditions
Shelter	Commonly placed in burrows, rocky hollows, or ice pockets

Stage V Elder Yetis instinctively place their eggs in locations rich in natural magic and snowfall, then leave them undisturbed.

Influence of Proximity

Arcane Proximity Accelerates Incubation
Anyone with a magical aura or spellcasting abilities near the egg may unknowingly speed its development.
Poaching Risk:
Adventurers, poachers, or scholars who linger near large egg clutches with active magic may cause accidental mass hatching, especially if the eggs are near full term.
Stealth Exception:
Non-magical individuals or those using magic suppression enchantments may avoid triggering this effect entirely.

Hatching Sequence

When a Yeti egg reaches full maturity, it begins a distinct and unsettling ritual:

Blub-blub-blub: Soft, pulsing sounds echo from within the shell
Light Pulse: Arcane light surges through its veins in rhythmic bursts
Expansion: The egg expands with pressure—each pulse pushing it further outward
Pop: The shell releases in a silent, controlled pop, not a shatter
Mist & Slime: A shimmering arcane mist fills the air, and a pale blue magical slime is left behind
Instant Birth: A fully formed Stage I Baby Yeti appears—identical to a potion-born familiar in size, shape, and condition

Post-Hatch Behavior

Newly hatched yetis immediately panic
They emit loud squealing cries for their “birth mother”
If born in a wild clutch near a Stage V, this sound can trigger a protective or aggressive response
All hatchlings scatter in random directions attempting to flee threats

Essence Extraction & Usage

If a poacher wishes to harvest the magical component of the egg without hatching it, they must use a special method:

Extraction Protocol:

Tool Required: The Extrdmeaon — an ultra-fine arcane syringe
Purpose: Extracts Magic Yeti Essence (the core alchemical material used to craft Yeti’s Essence potions)
Yield: Each egg provides up to 10 full doses before becoming inert
Extraction Site: Only legally sanctioned at the Adventurers’ Guild in Vel Dranir

If performed successfully without triggering the egg or being detected, no retaliation from the Elder Yeti occurs.

Risks of Mishandling

Disturbing partially incubated eggs may cause partial hatching, arcanic backlash, or draw wild yeti aggression
Cracked or broken eggs due to poor handling may result in:
Magical surges
Freezing explosions
Death of the embryo and loss of all essence

Notable Facts

Eggs do not emit heat—they radiate magical cold detectable only by arcane means
Stage V Yetis do not return to check on eggs, but will respond violently to disturbance if present
No known culture worships or reveres the eggs—they are feared, avoided, or stolen

Threat Level and Consequences

Elder Yetis will not pursue if an egg is successfully taken without detection
However, magical traps, severe cold, and ambient arcane dangers protect nesting grounds
Failed extractions often lead to violent retaliation or magical backlash

Yeti’s Essence Rare Familiar-Conjuring Elixir

Yeti's Essence Rare Familiar-Conjuring Elixir

Potion Description: Yeti’s Essence comes housed in a glass vessel shaped exactly like a tiny, antlered fluffball—a design that reflects the very creature it helps conjure. The bottle’s body is round and plush in form, painted with a frosty matte white glaze that mimics a dusting of fresh snow. Two miniature resin antlers spiral from the sides of the cap, giving it an unmistakable yeti-like silhouette.

The eyes are small emerald green gemstone inlays, giving the bottle an adorable stare. Below, two carved wooden nubs act as the creature’s legs and also serve as small grips for easy handling. The bottom of the bottle is flat for stability, with a soft suede base for luxury. When shaken, the fluid inside swirls with snowy silver and glacial blue ribbons, lightly glowing in dim light.

The cork fits into the top of the creature’s head between the antlers and is sealed with a magical snowflake-shaped wax stamp to preserve its freshness.

Upon opening the vial, a swirl of cold vapor escapes, briefly forming frosted patterns in the air. The scent is crisp and faintly floral, like fresh snowfall mingled with blooming arctic blossoms.

Ritual to Summon a Baby Yeti Familiar: This potion doesn’t function unless used in a hand-formed snowball, combined with specific reagents and a short ceremony.

Required Materials:

A snowball formed and packed by the hand of a sentient creature
A tuft of real Yeti fur, placed at the core
Two antlers harvested from a wild doe, ground to dust and sprinkled over the snowball
The Yeti’s Essence

Activation Process:

Prepare the snowball and embed the fur in its center.
Grind the antlers into fine dust and sprinkle evenly across the snowball’s surface.
Pour the Yeti’s Essence slowly over the snowball.

The moment the final drop touches it:

The snowball begins to shimmer
A soft squeaking noise is heard
Within moments, the snowball trembles and bursts outward, revealing a freshly born Baby Yeti Familiar

Baby Yeti Familiar – Core Traits:

Size: Tiny
Type: Elemental Beast
Form: Round, white, and fluffy with two brown hooves, large antlers, and bright green eyes
Sound: Emits sharp, high-pitched chirps and squeaks to communicate
Limb Structure: No arms—uses two powerful legs for movement and attacks

Bonding: Once summoned, the Baby Yeti bonds with the caster permanently. It cannot be dismissed or unsummoned, though it can retreat into a dormant snowball state with an hour-long ritual.
