All what we get is a lore about a chicken...
That issue will take a bit more time to work on. We'll let everyone know when you can change your display names again.
Very interesting, so this kaelar is firs scout before player arrives?
I just want to give some constructive criticism.
The new bird model, featured in “A fell venture”, is gorgeous. Although it felt kind of odd. I had to wrap my head around it but, in the end, I figured it out.
The bird in the story behaved like a Terror Bird or a raptor, but its physique did not show this at all. I know your world is a magical place and I respect that. If you want to keep that tiny bit of realism, of which you spoke in one of your recent videos, I suggest the following:
Based of the skeleton of a Terror Bird

and keeping your previous design (and its intentions) in mind, I would stretch the legs a tiny bit to make it convincing enough that it hunts, but keeps it low enough to live in the jungle. Also pay attention to its posture, the skeleton of such a bird has its neck far more to the back of its skull, resulting in a slightly different neck-shape.
I think the concept art is far more believable as a predator, even though it has no teeth.
These are just suggestions and I in no way wana dismiss the artists effort and capability.
As a closing thought: I like this model, but I lived the concept art and bought it… I´d love to see the Otter mount soon
