The Pet Giant Shalk is a large, insectoid creature with a chitinous exoskeleton that features a mix of smooth and segmented plates, giving it a formidable yet elegant appearance. Its body is predominantly dark purple with iridescent blue highlights that shimmer under light, and its six legs are equipped with sharp, curved claws for digging. The Shalk's head is crowned with a pair of long, antennae and mandibles that suggest both a predatory nature and a certain nobility, while its glowing yellow eyes add a mystical aura. The creature's back is adorned with intricate, glowing runes that pulse faintly, hinting at its magical origins.
