"Well then, Rafel. What kind of creature is this, and how do I tame it?" The only thing Saleen about that lifeform is that it had a weak soul before it was hatched.
"Technically, the creature wouldn't serve as a steed but as equipment, called soul armor, for steeds. The Metal God had a hydra serving as his steed. When used in conjunction with soul armor, it provided additional strength to fortify him in battles against level-18 gods."
Rafel impressed Saleen with her explanations of a soul armor's qualities.
That creature could only have been born in the void and would only develop a soul when exposed to countless streams of energy. What Saleen held in his hand then was not an egg but a shell covering a dimensional space.
