This bird like creature can be found in snowy mountains and places of high elevation, tho they are capable of living in geographically flatter areas as long as they are cold, but it prefers not to Its an omnivore scavenger, opting to feast on what stronger creatures leave, but its quite opportunistic as it will attack anything small and defenseless Its teeth and tongue are kept hidden inside his cranial formation to prevent cold damage, plus the tonge acts as a layer of protection as some vital organs are only protected by the thin layer of the palate in it The feather/leaf wings are an evolutionary leftover of when his species used to fly, now they are mostly there for very minor stability reasons, in case of them being damaged the bird will remove them and live on a relatively normal life Its main method of transport is a semi-flexible, durable, organic hard cartilage structure on its legs, which detaches and its held in the “ski” position via a double joint, then contracts back into the talons through a dense muscle at the base The structure of it is based on being as aerodynamic as possible, including his relatively heavy weight, which allows him to take advantage of the steep terrain it prefers to live in, reaching impressively high speeds It does not interact with humans, as it cannot be caught while in his element, but the few cases where it interacted some people were injured when they got too close
