Ebon Gate Will Give You Friends.

That's right, folks. Ebon Gate will give you friends, if you can find the sneaky merchant Ilixil. Consider this your EG teaser from me.

When I say 'friends,' I'm talking about lizards. Made out of shadow. That don't eat no stinkin' crickets. Don't believe me? Take a look:

Twitching and shuddering at odd intervals, the tiny creature appears to be little more than a shadow lent feeble substance. Its indigo-cored form wavers like a candle's flame, but the shade-shade-newt maintains a rough lizard shape augmented by odd, elongated limbs. Each of the six tendril-like legs spreads into a trio of tiny black talons. Twin pinpoints of cerulean luminescence shine from where the creature's eyes ought to be.

You gently probe the body of the indigo shade-newt. As your fingers press against its oily-slick skin, tiny aurorae ripple outward from the point of contact. They limn the nearby flesh in mother-of-pearl hues that are slow to fade.

Oh, yeah. Did I mention you can also force them to dwell in your skin? In. Your. Skin.
