Aetherlings: Blizzard [closed]

I've been looking forward to sharing this guy for a while! Now that I'm more comfortable with the species traits in general, I thought I'd design an especially rare variant of aetherling - these types of aetherlings are only going to be released a few times a year. This one's celebrating the (possible) end of the awful weather we've been having this winter. 
I'm not certain as to how to price this one, so the auction structure will be a little bit different this time - I've included a new bonus for reaching the second bidding tier.

This one is a triple aetherling, a mutation-type bearing three elements in perfect balance. This gives the aetherling a number of traits considered pristine and beautiful by others of its kind.

I recommend reading the species lore if you're unfamiliar with aetherlings: [Link]

Born from the heart of a fierce winter storm, this aetherling bears great power. With a swish of its tail, it can bend the swirling air around it to its will, calming the winds or agitating them even further. This aetherling is said to appear to wanderers lost in the storms, following them and judging their moral worth. Only those who treat the aetherling kindly are shown the path to safety.
