Alliance Flying Creatures Headcanon
comic relief in 3...2....1....
Are you feeling a little lack of creatures living on the Odessen?
Have you ever wondered if it's strange, that during the establishing of Odessen's Alliance base staff didn't stumble upon any notable creature living in the mountains?
Well so did I
And came up with
The birb
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Sa'hau/Sahau (from broken catharese "sky arrow" or arrow bird), also known as fish bird is a reptavian native to the Odessen. The name comes from when the creature was first observed, diving under the water of one of the mountain lakes. Diving creature bears close resemblance to an arrow with it's sharp beak and feathered tail.
Despite nesting in the caves high above the ground, sahau do find themselves occasionally hunting in the forests for smaller creatures.
Sahau coats come in various shades of green, brown, yellow, gray and blue with different stripe and dot patterns. Their beak "ring" spot on the other hand comes in all known colours.
They have sort of feather "mane" resting along their neck and are capable of raising it as an umbrella. Such "mane" serves as an attraction attribute during mating time and a warning or a threat display when sahau is confronted or is feeling uncomfortable.
Soooo ofc cause of Palladi's love to all sorts of animals absolutely not catching them by himself for his own Force bonding expirements's sake (how terrible) and because of the need to traverse Odessen's land fast and relatively safe
he's just been like
and so the domestication of flying Odessen dinosaurs began
or better to say, a prolific partnership.
Tho the birbs look like they will eat you and all your family in one turn they turned out to be prone to learning and further training.
here I have Palladi to show off his Toruk Makto riding skills
Being quite social, sahau made up themselves a reputation of loyal companions, assisting locals in fishing and sometimes even hunting, serving patrol duties along side with their riders and in general being fast and furious mounts.
Birb is helping, not stealing! no no.
Ah, the riders!
Due to this whole bonding idea a dedicated Alliance force was established consisting mostly of Force-users and Force-sensitives who have been trained to create special bond with creatures.
ye I just slapped the rifle on, I didn't even pretend
Judging from the name they are, well, armed with special spears, that, upon being thrown, open its "claws" or "jaws", puncture target's armour with its middle needle (hehe) and release a shock charge.
Oh look! This mirialan made himself tattoos alike sahau wings, each "feather" is achievement with his flying buddy.
They come in white and og black (I guess), and some jewelry prefered by a rider (just examples).
