DiamondBecause it is very proud, it hates accepting food from people. Its thick down guards it from cold.
PearlIt lives along shores in northern countries. A skilled swimmer, it dives for over 10 minutes to hunt.
PlatinumA poor walker, it often falls down. However, its strong pride makes it puff up its chest without a care.
