Veilwyn — Background & Lore
The Veilwyn is a small fox-like creature from Lost Colony in ASA. Wild ones teleport and call clones to form a pack, while a tamed one becomes a companion that buffs its owner and can later evolve.
Where to find it
It lives on Lost Colony, where it is a fairly common sight in our data.
Taming
A passive tame. Crouch-walk up behind it and feed it; 
Exceptional Kibble is its preferred food. If it spots you, it clones itself, so avoid groups of five or more.
Breeding
It gives live birth: gestation takes about 7.9 hours, and the baby matures in about 1.9 days at 1x.
Uses
- Companion Mode: it cannot die in this mode. It phases away and returns after an hour, and it gains a share of your XP.
- Support: buffs to speed, damage and defense, a freezing surprise attack and a 150 HP heal.
- Evolution: it can evolve into a
Malwyn or a 
Solwyn with Corrupted or 
Pristine Vulpite.
