Species Contest Entry

Postby LavenderRain » Thu Jul 23, 2020 2:00 pm

Off Oekaki entry!
I havn't made a name for it, but I'm thinking like The Trinity Bird, but of course if it wins, you can rename it whatever :)

This creature is simple but deadly predictor. It's numerous features helps in it's survival, allowing it to easily catch prey, but also to avoid danger.
This creature has an almost raptor-like body, with a small round head, and a long tail ending in two feathered fins.
It has 3 pairs of legs, the back two strong and long clawed, meant to keep it sturdy either standing or climbing, and are also used to fight while flying. The middle set of arms are very multipurpose, and can be used for walking along with back legs, digging for food, or grabbing items it's forearms are to short for. The front forearms are generally meant for grabbing food, but are also used for grooms and cleaning it's beak with.
The wings come in 2 feathered pairs, the first being a larger, more powerful pair that grows when they reach adulthood, and a secondary set, that even newborns can use in a week, that help them with precision in the sky.
Along the neck they have a feather frill which is used for courtship and other body languages and emotions. They have 2 long feathered ears, but their hearing is very poor, and they almost never really use them.
They have 2 eyes set of opposite sides of the head, like a horse or bird of prey. The larger eye cannot see very well, and gives them perspective, while the smaller eye hones in on little details, and is used primarily for hunting.
Their beak is large (or small and thing, if you prefer the first sketch(I personally like the thin beak better xD)) with "teeth" along the top bill, helping them eat tougher food like fish. The beak also has a sharp point on the top bill, and a sharp bottom the lower bill, used for fighting.
They also have 3 noses, the front nose for breathing, the second smallest nose for precise smelling, and the third "nose" for drinking water, much like a duck.
