Cava: Difference between revisions

 

The entire body of a Cava save for its forelimbs is covered in dark plumage with a blue-purple sheen. The upper to mid limbs feature several vestigial wing feathers akin to their dromaeosaur ancestors. The back of the head features a crest with three or more plumes of brightly coloured iridescent feathers that strongly reflect UV light. This may have served a role in sexual selection as the reflectivity is often an indicator of an individual's physical health. On average Cavan eyesight is better than other sapients, especially in terms of following movement and UV sensitivity, however they have noticeably poor contrast detection. Eye colour varies but light blue is the most common. Cava possess a syrinx organ instead of vocal cords which allows for a decent vocal range and even mimicry. Despite this, the lack of lips and teeth does limit the possible sounds they can make with ease which has had major impact on language and culture.
