Malian Storm Singer
Overview
This storm singer follows the eternal storms Meńíarh, Abeme, and Annídu. Their
songs so loud they can be heard over the tempest. Their wings agile as to dart around the eye of the storm.
Their feathers hydrophobic as to stay warm and dry despite it all. Flocks of Malian Storm Singer feast on
anything they can, picking the skies clean. And whatever is picked up and hauled into their storms from
below is fair game.
The storm singer when following a storm, flies discreetly. Falling silent as to not alert the skies it
follows its home from a distance. Riding the drafts they rarely flap and remain so silent, their colors
blending into the tempest sky. It is only as they hunt with their storm that they begin to sing. Malian
Storm Singers are also known as Zyl
Temperment
Predatory yet scavenging, the storm singer is not fully a predator despite its behavior. For when it is not hunting, it is feeding on the air. And that is where most of its diet comes from, feeding on pollen, uprooted vegetation, small bugs, and the like. One could approach a flock in an airship and have them either hold steady or flee, finicky is a proper descriptor of their behavior.
Life Cycle
Malian Storm Singers mate within their eternal storms. Meńíarh singers mate in fall and birth in spring, Abeme singers mate in spring and birth in fall, and Annídu mate all year round and spawn all year round. Reasons for their differing behaviors are unknown, most theorize The Sound dictates which storm exhibits which behavior. As if a Annídu singer falls behind and joins Meńíarh singers, its behavior will change. When with young, The Malian Storm Singers will hold their whelps with their six lower limbs. They will no longer be as agile in the storm but they will have a higher success rate with rearing young. All throughout their lives though, remains the danger of lightning and the danger of debris. These two factors are the main killers of Malian Storm Singers. Keeping their populations in check.
