There are few creatures in the wide green world which can be compared to the fascinating Bokolo, save perhaps the common ostrich which plies the arid deserts of the Krugmar. Tall, flightless avian creatures known for their intelligence and pack mentality, these titans of bird-kind have walked among the forests and deserts of the land for many thousands of years. First domesticated in the lands of Vailor, they have swift proven dependable, loyal, and steadfast companions to the Descendants, and have many enthusiasts among those intrepid enough to seek them out.

Individuals of the species are nigh as diverse as the land in which they originated. Their plumage, which can be of most any colour save black, is a telltale sign of their lineage: Bokolo of vermillion (red) hue originated and tend to inhabit arid locales such as deserts and steppes; of cerulean (blue), in coastal and riverbound areas. Yellow birds are most common, and seem to represent a basic phenotype which can be found just about anywhere. Virescent (green) Bokolo are most often found in forests, where their feathers provide ample camouflage to confuse any predator foolish enough to attempt to make them prey.

Despite their intimidating stature, Bokolo are herbivores, preferring to eat of the fruit, leaves, bark, and other natural bounty of their surroundings. Even still, these avian giants are no easy quarry for predators- most Bokolo are more than capable of defending themselves from all but the largest and most capable hunter. When a fight can be avoided, however, the birds will often employ their immense speed and dexterity to escape confrontation.

While they are fairly common in the wild, the Bokolo’s interactions with the descendant races are fairly limited. Apart from the famous trainers and riders of the Warhawke Confederacy, only a few dedicated souls have been able to begin properly re-domesticating these proud creatures. Fewer still have been able to produce a viable clutch of eggs and raise the chicks, known colloquially as “Bok-Boks”. Persevering individuals, however, have found that Bokolo make for exceptional war-mounts, possessing the strength and will to bear an armoured rider and armour of their own.

“If I’d asked myself, as a young human medic, where I’d be in 80 years; “bright green, immortal, and surrounded by twelve foot-tall rainbow war-chickens” would not have been my answer.” -Dr. Opal Vientos-Fritz, Bokolo Rancher

Yewwow biwds awe most common, and seem to wepwesent a basic phenotype which can be found just about anywhewe.

Despite theiw intimidating statule, Bokowo awe hewbivowes, pwefewling to eat of the fwuit, weaves, bawk, and othew natulaw bounty of theiw sulwoundings.
