A beak has managed to force its way out of this dark shell.
Long thought extinct, dodos survive to this day on a small island off of the Jungle of Raza. This island, known as Mauritius, is the only place these birds are known to live. These birds have existed on this island with no predators for many years, and as such have grown fat and flightless, unafraid of humans. It is thought that this is one of the main reasons why dodos are no longer well known – their utter lack of fear makes them easy prey. Altogether too plump for flight, a dodo's tiny wings serve only for balance, leaving these birds with sharp talons to protect themselves. In the past few years, magi have become increasingly aware of the rarity of the dodo and are attempting to revive the population. This is seen as a noble cause, for dodos are able to live for several centuries, and although foolish, learn much over their long lifetimes. Indeed, some of the older dodos are occasionally able to communicate with the magi in human tongue, making these creatures valuable indeed.
