Bulby

Diet: Carnivore
Danger Level: Low
Social Ability: Medium
Information: A small, flightless, nocturnal bird said to be the source of nightly light shows in jungles along game trail paths. They scavenge for corpses while they are still relatively fresh, though only often find small chunks of meat that never fill them up. When a large corpse is found with enough meat to sustain them, the giant bulb on the top of their head lights up. This light is used to repel flies and other insects that are attracted to the smell of rotting flesh as well as alert family members of the find. Very few nocturnal predators are able to withstand the light due to the sensitivity of their night vision.
