Prengyuldau

Prengyuldau are small quadrupedal animals. They have small round bodies with proportionally large heads, and thin legs which fold into their bodies so well they appear short-legged even though they are not. Their tails are long and somewhat flexible, but not prehensile. Their bodies are covered in feathers, with the feathers on the underside downy and resembling fur more than feathers. Some species have fully developed feathers on the throat, however, typically used for display plumages in males.   A prengyuldau's most recognizable trait is their head. Not only is it large compared to the rest of the body, they also possess very long and unusually shaped skulls. Their heads taper into a tube-like shape, much like the head of a giant anteater, which in most species is bent (although exact shape varies). They have long tongues, which can pump up nectar much like a hummingbird's, and lack front teeth which may hinder said tongue. They have large canine teeth, however, and their dentition lends itself well to consuming small prey, should they find it. Their snouts are immobile, but covered in whiskers, which they can move. These whiskers also tend to collect large amounts of pollen, making the prengyuldau especially effective as pollinators.   Aside from their heads, prengyuldau also have notable limbs. Their feet, both front and back, lends themselves well to an arboreal lifestyle, letting the animals climb plants rapidly and with ease. Their front paws are also lend themselves well to grabbing, allowing them to maneuver flowers around for easier access. Both front and back legs have long, well-developed feathers, growing into a fan-like structure which, when unfolded, makes them resemble a bird's wing. Although they lack the musculature and joint maneuverability for proper flight, extending their feathers and spreading their legs allows prengyuldau to glide significant distances. Most species also have feathers on the tail, allowing it to aid in their glide, or to help their agility while airborne, using it to steer.   Many species of prengyuldau are sexually dimorphic, with males having more extravagant plumage. Bright colors, striking patterning, and iridescent or metallic feathers are common among them, and certainly not exclusive to males

Prengyuldau are nectivores, feeding (almost) exclusively on flower nectar. They maintain a mutualistic relationship with these flowers, consuming nectar but spreading their pollen, acting as pollinators. In a world without bees or hummingbirds, prengyuldau are the primary pollinators in many places and for many flowers.
