Creature:Aurus

Descrpition The Aurus are a avian species, native to the forest swathed Aurus Prime. They lay their eggs in the winter, and watch over them closely until the summer. When they hatch their feathers are a snowy white, which will turn green or blue, depending if they are a boy or a girl respectivley. The species is primarily aboreal, and their modern cities are built in the canopies of their forest home. When hunting, a Aurus will leap on it's prey from above, digging into them with their talons. To do this, they have evolved excellent senses of sight and hearing, with improved smell thrown in for the occasional long distance hunt. They excel at flying fast, and far, an adaptation made to allow them to cross the oceans of Aurus Prime.

Culture These people are pranksters. The glue-on-your-wings, I know a song that get's on everybody's nerves..., the full body swirly, and so many other pranks, gags, and jokes are owed to this species. With a mentality that humor is the number one thing to look for in a mate, it isn't suprising that these people are the comedians of the galaxies. They get along very well with the Introi, a fact that many who have had to clean up after a multi-species Corono party, will testify.

Space acheivments Though their spacecraft are merely duplications of other species technology, the Aurus once had the most advanced space tech in their system. They early on established contact with their neighbors, the Spirki and the Ti'saar. they are minor members of the N.E.
