Each of the following creatures are special. These are rare, limited creatures, usually obtained during an event, such as a holiday. Some of them are breedable, some are not.
Each Post will include an image of the egg, hatchling and adult images, side art if available, the time of release, how it was obtained, the artist who drew it, the common abbreviations you may see, breeding notes and any additional information it may be useful to know.
If you find an error in the posts, or have information to add, please send a message to Hawke (either here, or directly through Magistream.)
More prettiness to come!

57. Voltarian Alphyn Released: September 2009 How Obtained: A special gift from Azazel to recognize players found to be particularly good, helpful, polite, kind and generous on the forums, willingly, and out of the goodness of their hearts. Artist: GlassWalker Common Abbreviation: V Alph, Voltairian, Llama, Drama Llama Breeding Information: This creature is neither breedable, nor tradable. Additional Information: There was an enormous hullaballoo around the release of these creatures. The Voltairian Alphyns were released at the same time as all the other Alphyns. Since the creature count was up by one more than creatures found, players were trying all manner of breeding and searching, looking for the answer to some kind of riddle. The original information given out by the players who received them was basically, "Don't TRY to get it." Damien finally put an end to the wondering and stated outright that it was a gift to recognize certain Magi. Ironically, this backfired into a near flamefest as players with out one bawwwed that it was not fair and they would never be recognized, no matter how nice they were. Things finally settled down, and more have been given since then.

70. Decessus Released: A few days before Halloween, leaving a few days after. How Obtained: Stream Artist: BettyxMe Common Abbreviation: Decessi (plural), Rat, Zombie Rat Breeding Information: This creature is not breedable Additional Information: For a few days prior to Halloween, and partly through November 1st, the stream was 'flooded' with Decessus eggs. They were the only eggs available in the stream during this time. Some referred to this flood as the Plague, or Infestation. For about 20 minutes on November 26, 2009, after the site returned from the Great Turkey Explosion, Decessus eggs could be found in the stream- although not as a flood. These have been dubbed Glitch Rats. The Decessus returned for the 2010 Halloween season, but they were mixed with other eggs in the stream instead of completely infesting it. 71.

83. Coal Wyrm Released: Christmas 2009 How Obtained: A quiz was issued to some players, answering that you had been naughty and deserved coal, or good and deserved tinsel would result in acquiring the "lump of coal" Artist: GlassWalker Common Abbreviation: Coal, C Wyrm Breeding Information: Coal Wyrms can breed successfully only 3 (sometimes 4) times. They are not interbreedable with Tinsel Wyrms. As of August 4, 2010, Wyrms with breedings left now have a counter on them to show how many. This aids in selling wyrms, so that buyers know what they are actually getting. Wyrms with out any breedings left will not have the counter on them. Additional Information: The quiz would pop up either at log in, or randomly while browsing the site if the player was already logged in. The reason it popped up for some and not for others was not disclosed aside from it being stated that the wyrms were intended to be rare. Once at the quiz page, the player could not navigate to any other page on Magistream until they had chosen an answer. Those original Coal Wyrms were dubbed "Gift Born" (GB) Coal eggs have virtually no description, leaving some players who were gifted with them to wonder if they were eggs that needed clicks or not.

85. (Belled) White Elk Released: Christmas 2009 How Obtained: A gift from Magistream to players who gave an undisclosed number of gifts to others. Artist: BettyxMe and GlassWalker Common Abbreviation: Belled, Collared, Elk Breeding Information: These creatures are breedable. All types of White Elk are interbreedable. Additional Information: There are gender differences - Females: look left, no antlers, single bell
- Males: look right, antlers, three bells
The type and gender of White Elk obtained was random. These original Elks were dubbed "Gift Born", and are highly sought after, as not every player got one, and those that did, received only one. Several groups arose to aid with finding temporary and permanent partners for breeding purposes. The Elk, like the Voltairian Alphyns, created an uproar of "That's not fair!" from players who did not receive one. Some had given gifts, but not enough to meet the undisclosed amount. Some players were away and unable to log in during the time of gifting. Some players managed to miss the threads discussing it, the 'gift' option on their eggs, and the tree at the bottom of their keeps, and so did not give any gifts. Things finally quieted down, and bred elk are now being sold so that everyone eventually has a chance at them.

The originally gifted Blue Crystalwings were dubbed "Gift Born" (GB)
