(simple self drawn concept art)
Name: Flaming Doddle Bird
Category: Bird
Element Type: Fire and fighting
Strong Against: ice, plant, normal and earth
Weak Against: water, wind and poison
Found at: HarshSands Desert - area 1
Basic concept description: A big stodgy bird which is on fire so its skin is roasted and has nothing but gone left of its wing on one side.
In game description: This is an amazing creature. It not only breaths fire but it can also use it to melt sand and change the components in the sand to make golden eggs.
Nature / personality: It is hard to tell what personality something has when all it does is scream in agony because in case you have forgotten IT IS ON FIRE! The creature runs around squawking really loudly and will attack anything it comes into contact with when it does so to get it out of the way. It is in too much panic to think properly.
Likes and Dislikes: It likes being put out although the effect doesn't last long unless you use special magic or items. It dislikes pretty much its entire life otherwise, especially when people tease it with roast chicken.
Background / History: No-one knows why these birds are constantly on fire and it can't just be a single incident as the species has not been seen any other way. Some people believe they are cursed in some way by an evil mage and they tell stories of the mage coming to burn naughty children.
Connected Monsters: There are no connections with other monsters (at least not yet)
Detailed Location Description: The Flaming Doddle Bird lives in the HarshSands Desert. This desert is not as barren as it may seem at first however as it has many interesting ruins around and even a underground cave where moist creatures live unaware of the harsh outdoors. The Flaming Doddle Bird runs around wherever it wants and even sleeps and eats while running on its feet. In a little hidden spot there is a waterfall which creates a beautiful oasis where the Flaming Doddle Bird may visit to get a drink and try to put itself out. It last for a short while but not for long.
Detailed Body Description: The Flaming Doddle Bird is how you would imagine any creature which has been on fire for a long time. It's wings are small and so they have wasted away quickly with only a few strands of red plumage left behind. Even the skin of the wings has gone and all that is left is the bare bone. The Flaming Doddle Bird's body is well roasted and crispy with thick skin. It's beak has a big bump and is very strong being the only thing not burning up in the fire. It's legs are also very tough and nobly and can give a very strong kick if the need be. It's claws are very strong and can grip hard onto enemies, allowing them to pass on the fire to its victim.
Item Drops: Golden Egg (in concept only as items still to be confirmed)
Creators Notes: Most of the things in this profile have been reused from a detailed profile of the creature on another website as it helps give all the good details needed. The creatures likes and dislikes may become relevant in the future for taming the creature if this feature is used in the final game. The more complex details of the creature may also be used in the game itself through the means of in game text books if the information is interesting enough and relevant to the proper development of the way the world is. Less important information will not be in the game itself.
