==Characteristics== | ==Characteristics== | ||
The | The Snowbird is a large [[Bird family|avian]] with plumage in various shades of blue and white. The majority of its body is sky blue with a long cerulean tail with a ruff around its neck and crest on top of its head of white feathers, as well as golden beak and talons. In battle, they are capable of breathing out ice cold breath and casting death magic on the party, making them fearsome enemies especially when faced in groups. Much like its [[Firebird|fire-breathing counterpart]], the Snowbird did not make a reappearance in the main series until {{X}} two decades later. It has made regular appearances in spinoff games in the series, particularly the {{DQMSeries}}, where it can form [[Prism peacock]] by breeding with a Firebird. The Snowbird has also been a member of the [[Beast family]] and [[Nature family]] depending on the game. | ||
