Caudipeyx Spectra
Near the coastline of the Gavamoga Jungle lives a remarkably social bird known as Caudipeyx spectra. Though they nest in the high canopies of towering trees, these Estalons are often seen wandering the forest floor in search of insects. Rather than flying to catch their prey, Spectras rely on their naturally camouflaged plumage. Due to the limited vision of the local bugs, these birds can easily sneak up on their targets undetected. Their friendly nature extends to all races of Eldranes, and they have even been observed offering food to friendly passersby. The constant crashing of ocean waves along the coast helps mask their movements, further enhancing their stealth. Despite their social tendencies, Caudipeyx raise their young in a surprisingly hands-off manner: the mother departs immediately after birth, and the father follows within two to three weeks, leaving the fledglings to fend for themselves. Fortunately, the region lacks many natural predators.
Caudipeyx Spectra are average-sized birds, measuring around 35 centimeters. Their nests are usually perched at the very tops of trees, exposed to sunlight and wind. While a single clutch can include up to six chicks, survival rates often drop once the parents leave, as the young must teach themselves how to fly. Most individuals of this species display feather patterns in hues of green and blue, sometimes accented with purple or orange. On rare occasions, a golden-yellow Spectra is born, but these individuals are short-lived, as their bright coloration makes them easy targets in a world where camouflage is essential for survival.
