Bone Bird

Brainstorming Bone Bird

Bone Bird Overview: Big birds, heavily armored. On each arm after the elbow, they have a tiny thumb-like appendage that supports a large talon the size of its forearm. Each Bone Bird Adult has an egg inside of them, and is constantly attempting to maintain it. They don't have defined sexes, the only difference between an adult and a non-adult is the egg within them. They can share DNA through basically kissing other Bone Birds.

Bone Bird Parts

Bird Parts: Bone Birds are hunted for their tough meat and carapaces. Their beaks and talons make great shields or even full arm gauntlets.

Carapace

Beak

Arm Talons

Clawed Feet

Egg: All adults have at least one. Put in cool dry place or risk it hatching. probably valuable.

Bone Birds are not communal, only interacting with their kind to raise young and share DNA. They mostly go looking for food, both to sustain themselves and to produce another egg, which they barf up in a horrific ritual.

Possible Names: Bone Bird, Terror Talon, Beak Beast/Brute

Bone Bird Young: These small bonebirds mostly have their beak grown in first, so their smaller limbs surround it. Appearing only 2 legged, they can scream and their arms fold out, almost giving the appearance it has 3 lower jaws and one massive upper jaw.

Possibly called Shriekers, a Tremors movie reference.

Bone Bird Brat: Its arms are bigger than a young BB, but it still hasn't fully formed its egg part. It stands a bit more upright.

Bone Bird Full: These Bone Birds are adults, large, powerful, scream, otherwise tough to deal with.

Terror Bone Birds: Much bigger than even adults, possibly even able to lay eggs larger than others or give live birth. They have more spikes around, and some may even have grown a new set of arms.
