The Glass Crest lives in both cold arctic areas and deserts. The deserts in Laynair contains soft blue and brown sand. There are random 'crystal storms' where shards grow in patches and along trees. The crystals are not stable, they soon melt and the ground becomes slick resulting in an icy looking landscape.

These guys change their pigment in according to these seasons in the desert. The arctic Glass Crest have darker colors along with blue and white.

They have to stay hidden as they are ambush predators and are also hunted for their skin; horns and meat.

They see with heat and live on a purely liquid diet, attacking prey with tube like structures that make up their odd mouths.
