Soul Bond

These creatures bond by blood and soul as well as by the mind, sharing in any powers possessed by their chosen bond, and if either half of the pair dies, so will the other.

Verbal Speech

The ability to communicate in spoken words.

Ashkenaz is spry and lively, with a devil-may-care attitude that does Phoenix proud. He is adventurous and playful, and enjoys wall-climbing all over the place, exploiting the ability he acquired from Phoenix after bonding her -- you'd be hard-pressed to find another creature that can wall-climb with hooves, after all! He shares Phoenix's enthusiasm for recruiting other creatures to live in the happy bedlam that is the Alveary, and has no qualms about going out and about to play missionary.

Ashkenaz is an example of what happens when you make friends with powerful spirits from other worlds: they bring cute little creatures over to bite your fingers hard enough to draw blood! Given that Ashkenaz is a Wris'Talora, however, his blood-drawing nip formed a bond between him and Phoenix that will last until one of them dies and takes the other with them.
