2026 species lineup

Working on a more all-inclusive version for choros and one that includes grauls too. But here’s this for now.

Just the Choros + Ancestral Eagle

Someone recommended wolf eagle as a name for the modern nonsapient choro relative (ancestral eagle.) I’m starting to like this as one of the names choros would call them. Choros hunted all the oppy world wolves to extinction, so calling them wolf eagles would be derogatory and ironic in that they outlived their namesake. They’re the only wolves choros couldn’t get to.

Might be hard to write about without an omniscient narrator though.

Lightning Choro Color Variation

Some common colors + one funky color variation that can happen in isolated flocks that remain isolated for a few too many generations. The resulting choros don’t always have the best of health… Lightning choro flocks tend to have smaller gene pools than fire or rain.

Albino or leucistic coloration is not conventionally attractive to choros. Most lightning and fire prefer their elemental colors to shine through, while rain have a preference for anything bright and colorful.

Coloration that strays from their element doesn’t tend to proliferate in a choro population, for reasons both social (they prefer it) and magical (it’s rare for a mutation to override their magical coloration.) Without their elements, most choros would be a more natural brown or gray like their flying ancestors.

Rain choros would look almost the same though.
