Creature egg/squid

One of the pets that hatch from the eggs, squids are winged beings that distribute a piece of vellum once every four days when PINCHed that can be used for writing.

LOOK

About the size of a human's thumb, this squid looks pretty much like any you might find for sale in a fish market, aside from the wings.  Then again, the scalloped leading edges of both fins do look unusually rigid and sharp.
