Appearance
As the Piqa was a part of folklore it were not regulated by any central authority.

What all different versions had in common were;


 * It was covered in feathers.
 * Razor sharp beak and claws.
 * It feeds upon Molkos.

Western coast
Here the Piqa was a molko-looking being, with both hands and feet. The feathers on the arms made it possible for it to fly.

The name Piqa is from here, thought the original and ancient name is "Pahiican".

Central desert
A giant bird, burning eyes and so sharp feathers that it could cut off a mountain top.

It was said that the Piqa could pass through Maz and reach Mirgir in just 5 wingbeats.

Eastern mountains
It was more of a creepy vampire-thingy rather than a monstrous beast.

It could travel between cities by entering the shadows beneath a beacon-fire.

The Piqa would come into a persons house, if you lived alone the chance that it would come is tripled. It would suck the blood of its victim, who in turn becomes a "Syniin" a mix between a vampire and a zombie.

North eastern mountains and northern plains
More ostrich-looking, it would run very very fast and could do great jumps.

After having killed and eaten one thousand Molkos, it would lay one egg, afterwards it would die. If blood touches the egg it will hatch and the Piqa will be reborn.
