#REDIRECT [[Creature egg#Bolus]]
One of the pets that hatch from the eggs, '''boluses''' are uniquely shaped creatures that distribute [[Signet#Wax|a stick of red wax]] once every four days when {{boldmono|[[PINCH (verb)|PINCH]]}}ed that can be used for [[WRITE_(verb)|writing]].

<blockquote>
<big>'''LOOK'''</big>
<pre{{log2}}>
Really just an attractively shaped, pretty colored, eight-sided lump, this bolus might be the result if Koar decided to breathe life into a tiny unicorn turd - although the hand-ended legs suggest Zelia's work. Aside from the faceting and the legs, the bolus resembles a hen's egg in general size and shape and lacks any other variations in its surface that might indicate a back or a front.
