Creature:Buzzard Maximus

Buzzard Maximus is a omnivorous, bipedal, species of bird native to the planet of Echoes. Buzzard Maximus, the name they refer to themselves in addition to their scientific name, represents an ancient lineage that can be traced all the way back to a species of bird over 125 million years ago that resembled a sandpiper and is referred to as the Jayce Sandpipet. While Buzzard Maximus has evolved intelligence, on the planet Echoes there remains a form nearly identical in morphology that remains primitive and animistic. This has never been explained by scientists, but it is hypothesized that isolation and a less challenging environment prevented intelligence from developing while others point to extraterrestrial interference.

At the dawn of the thousandth year since unification, the Buzzard Maximus species controls a meager 30 star-systems spread across great areas of space. The spread is do to the invention of a wormhole key that allowed them to explore the galaxy with great ease. The species has taken a rather slow approach to expanding and seems more and more devoted to bringing eternal harmony to the area of space around their home world. Conversely, they seem not to believe in interference with other areas of the galaxy even when they have placed colonies nearby.
