Creatures Caves | Creatchi

Descendent of Snaff and Yarrow, brother to Ellowyn, and successor to the lab. Vekk hatched during what is said to be the witching hour on the night of his father's passing and never got to meet his parents, unlike his sister Ellowyn. Soon after emerging from his egg he proved to be much like the two Nornchi before him, following almost exactly in their footsteps. He learned and adapted quickly but would much rather socialize than work. A grendel named "Grotbags" and his future spouse Willia were his main childhood companions. (Though because of Willia's fear of grendels it was never the both them at once!) He was the typical unruly male nornchi until an introduction to, and soon after lessons from, Willia's strange aunt Hel straightened him out.
Despite lessons in the proper social graces, Vekk's and Willia's courtship turned out much like their childhood games of hide and seek tag. In the end it was Willia who was the "it" to pop the question, to which Vekk replied with an acceptance after a long moment of stunned silence . Knowing her discomfort with his often scaly assistants Vekk did not insist on having her live in the lab. Instead he decided to live with her, and eventually had two bright lime-shelled eggs to show for it. It wasn't until after their second egg that he found what his contribution to the lab would be. Using his father Snaff's work with holograms and making his own improvements, Vekk created and narrated a series of learning holograms that he titled "Lessons from Lady Hel: A Nerd-Chi's Guides to Proper Etiquette." He spent so long on perfecting them that he missed his sister Ellowyn's passing and nearly missed the hatching of his son, Hiram. But they were complete, duplicated many many times over with the master copy in the lab for safe keeping, and ready to be shared with the rest of the world. His remaining time was spent with his spouse and sons.
In the tradition of his predecessors before him he would be interred in the lab, to haunt the halls. However, unlike them, his spouse Willia decided to join him and he did not name a successor. After finding the truth of the lab in his childhood and later on encountered the thought that maybe neither of his sons would wish to carry on with the traditions, he leaves that decision up to the otherworldly thing that lives there.
