The pugenair is a small, fist-sized flying creature common to the forests of Berra and the sheltering slopes of the Tirsa Valley. It is an agile flyer, darting through dense undergrowth to catch insects on the wing, and is easily identified by its piercing call.

Etymology

From Latin pugnus ("fist", referring to its size) + English air.

Morphology

The pugenair is covered in tiny, incredibly dense feathers that give it a sleek, almost fur-like appearance. Its plumage is a uniform dark brown, providing excellent camouflage against tree bark, contrasted only by a sharp, jet-black beak enveloped in a circular white stripe. Despite its small size, it possesses a loud voice: its distinct, high-pitched birdsong is a rhythmic whistle that echoes through the land it inhabits.

Possesses a sharp beak and dense plumage suitable for camouflage.

Diet

Pugenairs are insectivorous, feeding on small flying bugs and larvae.

Behavior

Life Cycle
