Tom Yam

Tom Yam is one of Magical Starsign's seven Egg Characters. Tom Yam is a representative of Wood Magic, similarly to Chai. Like all the egg characters, Tom Yam has no relevance to the main story. So no discernible personality can be given, but based on other Radishes in the game, they are likely kind.

Appearance
Tom Yam is a radish. Tom uses the exact same look as standard radishes, with a pink hue near the bottom of their stem, unlike the radishes with yellow bows. This implies Tom Yam is a male radish.

When walking, Tom Yam will sway his bottom section from side to side, keeping his upper leaves steady.

When in battle, Tom Yam will sway their stem leaves from side to side. When casting magic, Tom Yam will sway their stem, before swinging it to the ground and casting the spell. When using their physical skill, Tom Yam will rotate their leaves and hover above the target, and do a figure eight motion while particles float onto the target. When guarding, Tom Yam will bend downwards bending their stem back and having their leaves droop down. When they win a battle, Tom Yam will wave their stem, hover for a moment, then drop down and stand still.

Method to obtain
One method to obtain Tom Yam is through Tag Mode interactions between multiple players or DS systems that also have the game. Since Tom Yam's magical element is one of the five basic element, it can be acquired within the first four eggs of Tag Mode. Eggs are given to the player when he reaches a certain number of Amigos in his or her Amigo list.

Tom Yam is possibly available in the following eggs...


 * 1 Amigo - 1st Egg (Any element, besides Dark or Light)
 * 15 Amigos - 2nd Egg (Any element, besides Dark or Light)
 * 30 Amigos - 3rd Egg (Any element, besides Dark or Light)
 * 60 Amigos - 4th Egg (Any element, besides Dark or Light)

Other Egg Characters of the five basic elements can be found in these eggs, so there is a possibility that the player will not receive Tom Yam as a playable character.

To hatch Tom Yam's egg or others, it usually takes five to six Tag Mode interactions with different people. If one tries to Tag with one player or one save slot multiple times, it can take four times longer to hatch.

Abilities and Spells
Skills

Tom Yam will fly above an ally, and will spin around, coating them with the Healthy status and make them immune to status effects.

Out-of-Battle Ability

When Tom Yam is in the party, certain radishes will give the player random items. After giving their normal tip, they will say: "And here's something you should always remember. Your friends are there to help! You can count on them! Here, let me give you this. It's nothing much, but I want you to have it.'"

The player can receive either one Green Frog, or a Yellow Worm.

Magic


 * Cactus Crush (level 1)
 * Chamomile Egg (level 50)

Name Origin
Tom yam is the name of a spicy Thai soup. Tom is also a common male first name in English-speaking countries, and yam is a kind of root vegetable (though Tom Yam is not a yam).

Trivia

 * Tom Yam, Nogg, and Fondue all have the ability to be seen in the game, even without Amigo Mode gameplay. Tom Yam can be seen as any male radish in the game.
