Behind the Scenes

 * Ghinghases have gone through some drastical design changes. Their original concept consisted in dog-like creatures with spinning, propeller-like limbs that helped them hover. They were later reconcepted as strange creatures with radial symmetry, resembling floating living spheres. After both designs were found absurd, the Ghinghase was reworked into the bird-like creature it is now.
 * Ghinghases were originally going to have five eyes, but they weren't implemented in the creation due to complexity issues.
 * The wings on the flying version of the Ghinghase only have three claws due to complexity issues. The front wings in the perched version lack the fourth claw as well due to problems when rotating it.
