The ayomar are one of the native species of Mendail, the land of life and death. They are best known for their calm disposition and their longevity- often claimed to be able to reach several thousand years of age before finally passing.

Ayomar reproduce very rarely. Most pairings will produce a single egg every few decades. Occasionally, a clutch may have two eggs- however, hatchlings are highly aggressive towards clutchmates and will attempt to injure or kill their sibling if given the opportunity. It's recommended for ayomar to only incubate one egg as a result (Or at least, separate them upon hatching).

Ayomar are extremely close to their parents and are heavily inclined to stay either with or near their family. Other relatives are usually not involved in chickrearing but visits are not uncommon. The drawing above depicts an adult ayomar along with her elderly parent and her own newborn hatchling.
