Namagurhoq’s sound.   Namagurhoq is a small animal hunted for its ability to bring luck. But also for its meat and fur in several different colors because of its favorite food, the Smoke moss. Namagurhoq gets its name from the Jahix Culture who hunted it. Namagurhoq means - colorful beauty. And the winged bird with similar wings to the Northern Lights has a hypnotizing feel. Many who are not prepared for the arrival or proximity of the bird usually fall victim to its beautiful singing and colors. Due to the Smoke moss, the bird can disappear in smoke, like a phoenix bird. It is said that Namagurhoq taught air magic to the first Jahix, who were kind enough not to kill it. They treated the birds with respect. The bird is also said to be able to fulfill your deepest desire. The bird is said to be on the verge of extinction because the jahix is hunting it.

Basic Information

Anatomy

Namagurhoq looks like a mixture of a peacock and a Phoenix. Its long tail resembles the Phoenix and is colorful like a peacock. The tail colors are primarily blue, orange, and white; the male is just like the rest of its feathers. On the female, the colors are purple, pink, and blue. The bird has large, broad wings that are usually the first thing you see when you meet the bird for the first time. On its head, the peacock has similar feathers. Namagurhoq has two front legs, two hind legs, and sharp claws. It is a stately bird, and where it settles around the smoke moss, its feathers sometimes shine at night. Namagurhoq also has a long neck, and its feathers sometimes resemble scales from a dragon because of its shape.

Genetics and Reproduction

They grow up to 45cm high for males and 56cm for females. Its tail never stops growing. But the bird is fully grown when the tail is 30cm long. The bird weighs up to 50kg. You can recognize the bird on its feathers and how it always seems to stand or lie among the moss.

Namagurhoq's eggs are green with something resembling white neat over. The eggs are no bigger than a hand.

Growth Rate & Stages

It takes a month for the bird to hatch and two years before it is fully grown. In the first month, their color will appear whether they are males or females. After three months, their tails begin to grow. And when they are fully grown, their tail feathers are up to thirty centimeters. The wings take a long time for the bird to produce and are finished developed after a year and a half. The bird does not learn to fly until it is two years old. Its magical powers can take shape anywhere from five months after the bird hatches to up to a year. The bird cannot start eating the moss until it is at least one year old. Until then, it eats berries, snakes, fish, and sometimes eels.

Ecology and Habitats

Namagurhoq uses moss a lot. The smoke hides them just like the moss's own defense way. They live secluded and preferably at least ten meters from the next nest. They prefer wetlands or swamps with a vast area to spread out on. When it builds its nest, it lays the eggs deep in the moss and flattens them to form a bed with stones and sticks. The bird makes a noise that causes most people to be captivated by its sounds and become hypnotized. This makes everyone in contact with the bird's sound relax and forget their worries. But when it is angry, the bird can emit a sound reminiscent of thunder.

Dietary Needs and Habits

Namagurhoq eats the smoke moss. They also eat snakes, eels, fish, and berries. It eats it before it can eat the moss, and when the moss goes to hibernation. The moss is their most important food and lives in the moss. The bird protects its food by hiding under it in the pockets of moss from other prey. Sometimes, it can even eat seaweed and seaweed. The bird is very territorial regarding its cubs, food, and nest. If you are not a guest, you are an enemy, and no enemy usually comes alive from an encounter with the bird or smoke the moss.

Biological Cycle

The bird is fully grown after two years. The feathers never change color, but its swan continues to grow. You can see how an old Namagurhoq depends on its tail. The longer the tail, the older the bird. After five years at its nest, it usually moves out to find a partner. The bird moves if it feels that there are too many Namagurhoq nearby to another place. During the three months, the moss settles into the side, and Namagurhoq chooses to move up among the mountains. It built a nest with moss, stone, and sticks at the cliff edges, which makes it difficult to access the birds, and they are protected during the moss's three months of the thought. The bird loses feathers to replace with new ones every five years. Many use these feathers for bows, jewelry, or selling to hunters.

The bird is known for giving luck and making your greatest wish. The magic of Namagurhoq is said to come from the goddess Gretuna, the goddess of Order, Education, and Fame.
