| Description | Blazing-breathed mountain birds of the chimaera family who are tough against fire, and may lay some good eggstras when licked. Their sepia tone puts people in a misty-eyed mind of yesteryear, but they themselves are young, dump, and full of fun. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
