Chakor

Basic Information

Anatomy

Curiously light bones, two wings. Can be any kind of bird-like wings, but the most common are eagle, falcon, or hawk-like. They are usually brown but can be red, black, gray, white, or even iridescent. Some wings are smaller, and others are larger, but usually, 6-foot wingspans are the most useful.

Genetics and Reproduction

They molt once a year, during summer. Not all at the same time. The feathers that fall out are repurposed in clothing and blankets.

Growth Rate & Stages

The average lifespan is about eighty years. They reach full maturity and stop growing, at age 23.

Ecology and Habitats

While it is common to find birds of prey in deserts or fields, the Chakor prefer to live in colder climates, usually where you might find snowy mountains or high cliffs. Their feathery wings are useful when it is cold, and since the other tribes couldn't survive in such freezing climate, they opted to be secluded and separated from everyone else. They mostly reside in what was once the north-west coast of Canada.
