The izula is a spectacular magical bird, its feathers can change colors to its environment, when hiding in trees or bushes it camouflages with the branches and limbs quite well. When it flies out to attack its feathers become a bright electric blue with violet tips and it crackles with electric energy. These creatures are fearsome hunters especially in packs and are known to roast full grown water buffalo to death and peck at their charred carcasses for nourishment. They are related to the greater izula and these greater monstrosities lead their lesser flocks across the skies looking for something to hunt. The izula enjoys eating meat but is actually an omnivore and is happy to devour succulent fruits like dates and mangos or even fish and insects. |
