Mythies

Mythies are magical creatures that appear in the modern JumpStart series. They debuted in World of JumpStart in 2010.

Interaction
Mythies start out as eggs. When an egg hatches, the player starts caring for an Eggling. Typically, the player can choose a name for the Eggling by selecting two words from preset lists. To care for an Eggling, the player needs to raise the happiness and energy meters by choosing the 'tickle' and 'dance' options. When the Eggling is ready to hatch, the player takes it to the Eggulator. In the Eggulator, the player can paint the Eggling's shell. The colors chosen will affect which colors the Mythie has when it hatches.

After an Eggling hatches in the Eggulator, it becomes a Mythie. Players can raise their Mythies, and when the Mythie reaches a certain age, the player can begin training them. If the player wishes to change a Mythie's colors after it has hatched, color kits can be purchased to do so.

Players can only raise one Mythie at a time. When a Mythie becomes a fully trained adult, the player can visit the Mythie Release area and release the Mythie to flight school, which allows the player to raise a new Mythie. Mythies that are released to flight school can still be visited there after they are released.

World of JumpStart
Mythies appear in the Enchanted Sanctuary. Ivy the fairy instructs the player on how to care for Mythies.

JumpStart Magic & Mythies
Mythies play a much larger role in this game than the JumpStart online game, as the player is required to have a Mythie in order to complete certain quests. Mythies appear in the Mythie Grotto. When the player first arrives there, they will take a personality test in order to gauge which Mythie seems best suited for them. This is only a recommendation, and the player is free to pick any Mythie they like after the test.

Each of the elves have a Mythie of their own. Asher has a BrightMare named Dawn, Laurel has a SeaStrider named Triton, Cypress has a StingWing named Blade, Holly has a LavaPup named Ember, Rowan has a HornHowlie named Rocky, and Willow has a WindWhipper named Flora.

Some of the Mythies in this game also appear in World of JumpStart, but some have different names.

JumpStart Junior
The player raises and cares for Mythies in Mythie Meadows. In this game, the name of the player's Mythie is automatically selected for them. The player is able to purchase toys and accessories for their Mythie.

 * The Hornhowlie is based on a sketch that won a contest held by JumpStart.
 * The StingWing is based on a mythical creature called a manticore.
