SPECIES IDENTITY

Visual design and behavior

White, teal and slate feathers, a swept crest, hooked feet, broad layered wings and ribbon-like tail feathers. Wind VFX form clean curved trails rather than dense clouds.

SizeMedium bird · 1.8–2.2 m wingspan
Body planCliff raptor with stylized crane features
LocomotionShort flight, cliff perching, dive arcs and hopping ground movement
TemperamentCurious at range and defensive near nests
PROVISIONAL SPAWNING

WILD COMBAT KIT

Encounter actions

Basic

Wing Cut

Fast close-range physical slash.

Mobility

Updraft Hop

Rises abruptly and repositions above the target.

Signature

Skybreak

Compressed Wind burst that disrupts, pushes and adds Wind buildup.

Escape

Tailstream

Creates a following current that accelerates retreating flock members.

Skybreak

Activated frontal pressure wave

Release a wide Wind pulse toward the reticle. It deals Wind damage, disrupts normal enemies and can influence light projectiles.

Species-wide research branches

  • Wider cone
  • Longer push distance for small enemies
  • Improved projectile deflection
  • Allied speed wake
  • Extra Break damage against airborne targets

ECOLOGY AND DEVELOPMENT

World role

Zephyra flocks map dependable updrafts between cliffs. Travelers watch their flight paths to identify safe ascent routes and approaching pressure changes.

Rare variants

  • Storm-gray feathers
  • Sakura petal tail
  • Long-wing high-altitude form
  • Rare transparent feather edges

Implementation notes

  • Use bounded flight zones for reliable combat
  • Keep pressure waves visible but transparent
  • Avoid camera obstruction during dives
  • Author clear landing and takeoff states
