(item) (fauna) Oghnoigh
OHG-noyg
The Ognoigh is a close relative of the Squibbit, being also found primarily in the Savan, though less often part of the diet of the Nagai. Rather, it is valued more for its peculiar property of changing color when pressure is applied to different parts of its squishy length.

It even retains these properties for a limited time after death, and thus a minor amusement is often made for children by treating oghnoigh bodies to negate toxins in their bodies (but also effectively destroying any nutritional value in the process) and preservatives. Naga children can then slap the oghnoigh bodies silly, producing interesting color patterns, until they "wear out".

Oghnoighs can also be fashioned into jewelry before their bodies dry out, and it's a common belief that jewelry will reflect the "mood" of the wearer, since it seems to react to body temperature as well as pressure. This aspect of the ognoigh is exploited mostly in exports. Nagas, after all, are cold-blooded.

It is believed that oghnoighs reproduce by breaking off into smaller oghnoighs. Thus, they're built to take a lot of punishment before they're ready to reproduce.
