While Suraj is generally affectionate and deeply disturbed by ophidiophobia, he won't hesitate to flare his hood and bare his fangs if someone he cares about is threatened. He is especially protective of Dyani the Pydeer.

Suraj's egg was aptly found by Vasuki, and he sometimes feels like Vasuki's miniature counterpart. His name comes from the Sanskrit word for "sun."

Ramona the Tuxo brought this egg home — the first legendary PixPet found by one of my pets. Will Xeldron live up to the hype?

Arun’s egg was found by Bercilak the Antabir, and Arun devotedly does whatever Bercilak wants. He is one of the few PixPets whose presence Bercilak actually tolerates.

Arun’s name is derived from Sanskrit, meaning “reddish brown.” It is the name of a charioteer of the Sun.

Evolving into Kyagrowl has greatly boosted Alasdair’s confidence, but he still battles numerous insecurities. Sometimes, he writes journal entries here.

(Alasdair is my starter. He is named after a shaman who can commune with gemstones in Ellen Steiber's A Rumor of Gems)

Vasuki is laid-back and loves rearranging their liquid gem collection. They are sad when one has to be used for a potion, but give it up anyway because they just want everyone to be happy. Vasuki really wants to be Alasdair’s BFF, but feels dejected when Alasdair gets envious that Vasuki happens to bring back better items from a hoard.

(Vasuki is my Patreon starter. They are named after one of the King serpents in Hindu and Buddhist mythology. Vasuki is also known as one of the eight Great Dragon Kings.)

Inanna spent the first month of her life tending the home and garden, running the shop, and learning the ins and outs of the marketplace. Her success at the latter is debatable, but she now considers herself an amateur economist. She has lived vicariously through Alasdair and Vasuki’s adventures, and is excited to finally be able to go on her own. She also sometimes writes journal entries.

(Inanna’s egg was found by Vasuki. Her name is a combination of “Indigoat” and “nanny goat.”)

Liadan absolutely refuses to stay still and often acts before thinking. She will probably throw her arms around you in a feathery hug before you have time to react.

(Liadan's egg was found by Alasdair. Her name means "Grey Lady" in Irish Gaelic.)
