Nodes dwell underground along mineral veins, very rarely digging up to the surface.  To catch a Node is no simple task - one must first seek out hidden places, following instinct more than maps, and then spend quite a lot of time digging. When close to a node-rich pocket, a soft, ethereal song can be heard. Nodes love to sing, and do so by vibrating at different frequencies to produce strange, beautiful, resonating tones.
 
These elusive creatures can be found along all types of mineral veins. Depending on their habitat, Nodes become imbued with the different magical properties of that type of stone, which makes them highly desirable for collectors.
