Dodo

Dodos are small bird creatures. They walk around all towns and villages as they are seen as nonthreatening and sometimes annoying birds that love card games and good cup of ale

Basic Information

Anatomy

Ranging from 2-3 feet and weighting 20-45 pounds. Dodos have small wings with small claw "hands" hidden within the feathers of their wings. They are incapable of flight and unlike other bird races have incredibly dense bones. They are about to live for 100-150 years

Genetics and Reproduction

During the spring females can lay 10-15 eggs. And sexually ready at 10 years old

Growth Rate & Stages

Egg 3-4 months Hatchling 1-4 years Juvenal 5-9 years Adult 10+ years

Ecology and Habitats

Tropical, flat areas normally islands

Dietary Needs and Habits

Dodos have a relatively weak digestion system and normally have to consume small rocks to assist with digestion. Other then that dodos eat a wide plait of fruits, vegetables, and grains. Although dodos do not eat meat it has been recorded that a dodo forced to eat meat becomes very hostile and aggressive. Though the reasons are unknown for why this happens dodos merely state that the meat does not agree with them.

Biological Cycle

Dodos normally live set lives with little to no change. But in special circumstances dodos change to live with the environment around them. A dodo you finds itself in a cool, rocky region will gain thicker feathers and stronger claws. A dodo in a very wet region would get waterproof feathers and have webbed toes. This continues to the point where all the subspecies of dodo are unknown and the exact number is also unknown.

Additional Information

Perception and Sensory Capabilities

Dodos are very near sighted and require glasses from the moment of hatching. Their hearing is much like humans but their sense of smell is more like that of a dog. Dodos use earth and air magics quite well and are know to be good teachers.
