Information: A pink monkey with bird-like features, including a beak and talons. It’s diet consists of a combination of fruits and fish. Drawings of corpses indicate that nearly 50% of its internal anatomy is dominated by its lungs. However, the only time it capitalizes on this is during mating season.

In order to attract a mate, males will climb to the highest tree they can find and wait for the sun to rise. As soon as they see it break the horizon, they will sing a single note and hold it for as long as they possibly can. Skilled males are able to hold the note for up to 18 hours. An amazing phenomenon during this time is the fact that each male can be identified by which note they are singing. No two males will sing the same note. Whoever can hold the note the longest will be rewarded with mating rights to the most fertile female in the colony.
