Decorus Pennae is a large bird-like creature native to the alpine forests of the Quillpen Islands, found on planet Ruchino. Decorus Pennae was once found on the mainland, but a fatal flaw in evolution causes its wing muscles to weaken as it entered maturity, which along with a heavily built body, makes flying quite difficult, although it can glide to a certain degree. Consequently, masses of them were killed due to hunters. This is one of the main contributors to the creature's eventual extinction from the mainland in year 2004.

Despite its large size, Decorus Pennae is a shy, timid Creature, and had very little means of defending itself.

Diet[]

Decorus Pennae feeds almost exclusively on plant roots, as its long snout helps it to sniff them out. It also eats tree bark, which helps aid digestion and provided a source of fiber. Seeds are eaten occasionally, but the creature's lack of a hard beak makes cracking them rather difficult.

Behaviour[]

Decorus Pennae is a social creature with an average singing voice and a brilliant charm ability. The bright colours of the Creature's plumage and its distinct honking call may help it to attract mates.

Due to its large build and poorly evolved wing muscles, Decorus Pennae spends almost its entire life nesting on the ground. Because of this, it has to be on the lookout constantly for predators that may attempt to raid its nest.

Wingspan[]

With a wingspan of over six feet, Decorus Pennae probably has the largest wingspan of all the Decorus genus.

Mainland Extinction[]

Decorus Pennae was originally confirmed extinct during the year 2004, as no members of the species were found on the mainland whatsoever. However, in late 2013, the species was discovered breeding on the Quillpen islands, several miles from the coast of the mainland where it went extinct. Scientists hope to reintroduce the species back to the mainland sometime in 2014.
