Nahobino had a farm ~

Solomiya is hard of hearing, so she prefers signing when her aids are off. Aiva cannot communicate in a human language when in aitvaras form due to an incompatible voice box, in the story Solomiya teaches them some signs so they could talk to eachother

Aitvaras Dude.......... hehe chicken...........

[zawieja]

some dragons in Eastern Europe are described to look like roosters or shooting stars and that's just neat

[briefbestiary]

Aitvaras likes prepared food such as, notably, scrambled eggs and porridge. It is incredibly difficult to get rid of aitvaras, and while killing it is an option it can heal its injuries by simply touching earthy ground. Additionally, should an aitvaras actually die, its body will leave behind a spark that may easily lead to fire.

Common Damavykas (Galloviperus lithunica) - Undesirable Flaming Rooster of Lithuania

“ Long time when live from the scorch feathers, those feathers are highly flammable when expire into small embers to large-scale wildfire. ”

– Eostre

The Common Damavykas (Galloviperus lithunica), also known by Flaming Damavykas, is the one of the mythical creatures introduced in Historya Davvun, Seven Code Talkers, No Way to Seaway, Weather Dragons, Two Lights, Worldcraft, and Rescris as part of Rapunzel's Tangled Adventure sequels.

Fixes: The Damavykas' appearance and some characteristics, such as the addition of orange edges to the black trosofan, make them resemble Bird Wyvern more than Hypnocatrice or Yian Kut-ku.

Take Note: All of my drawings and photos of people, animals, plants, mythology, disasters, organizations, events, and more are purely fictitious. These are included in real-life situations and events with fictional characters or creatures that aren't real, be at your own risk. For nationality or indigenous, be advised. Ognimdo.

Etymology

Borona is the Sawintiran word in Everrealm which is from Borona, is the Old Tagalog and Old Ilocano word for mysterious large bird, from Malagasy vorona or Malay burung, from Classical Malay بوروڠ (burung), from Malayo-Polynesian *eburuŋ (bird of prey). Damavykas is the Lithuanian word for this species, which is the alternative name of Aitvaras.

Physical Appearance

With its huge torso and white to dark blue green tail feathers on the waist, the Common Damavykas is a Borona (a saurischian wyvern that resembles a rooster, eagle, or pheasant). They look like primitive birds with three fingers and feathers that span in color from red to orange to dandelion to yellow to green. They had a beak-like mouth with serrated teeth and a red head like a rooster. The legs of common Damavykas are three-toed and gray with scales. Beneath these feathers were feather-like, inexplicable, bomb-like organs laced with nitroglycerin. The large, flame-like, yellowish orange feathers on Damavykas' tail acted like actual fire. Damavykas's eyes were hazel in color.

Behavior

Although it is an animal, the Damavykas are thought of as a house spirit because they only use their bomb feathers as an alternative form of defense against intruders and only breathe little fireballs five times. It is same goes to their trusting method as Aitvaras, another species of fowl-like wyvern in Lithuania.

Aitvaras Unknown Creatures from Around the World #shorts ##aitvaras #cre...

[antiquewhim]

I want to make information on Lithuanian folklore in English more public so I am uploading the threads that until now were only on my Twitter. I present to you a comprehensive thread on aitvarai, the ancient Lithuanian deities of the skies

(art credits: Neringa Meškauskaitė, Agroshka )

Aitvarai (etymologically "ones to appease" or "irrepressible force") are domestic creatures associated with all 4 elements: a comet of fire which harnesses wind for chaos, helping Earth and its people while being chased and punished by Perkūnas for stealing water.

Most commonly a black rooster, they can appear as a variety of creatures: different kinds of black birds, grass snakes, whirlwinds, comets and even men if they fall in love with a woman that they want to marry.

Though very powerful ancient beings, Aitvarai choose to associate themselves with people, with villagers being able to either hatch them from an egg of a 7 year old rooster or attract them by leaving out hot, untouched meals like porridge and scrambled eggs.

When part of a household, the duties of an aitvaras were to bring riches to his caretakers, either as money (money carrying aitvarai were golden, deep red or silver in coloration) or as wheat (grey and black colors). Note that aitvarai only served the poor, tricking the wealthy people who tried to use them.

Aitvarai were both a blessing and a curse: while they did bring wealth, they did it by stealing from the neighbors of their master, making them most hated in the local village. They were also clingy and dangerous to keep, burning down the houses of those who mishandled them by feeding them manure, tampering with their meals or disobeying the rules they set for the person.

It is said however that their thieving, evil nature was a characteristic given to them by the Catholic church, which wanted to demonize every pagan creature in Baltic mythology.

In fact, aitvarai were considered genuine problems by those who believed that they would steal from them: from warding off statuettes in granaries to court cases from 1700's accusing people of harboring an aitvaras (I found only one source claiming this, so take it with a grain of salt).

However, the desire to have an aitvaras was apparent as well, shown by modifications peasants would make to their homes: holes in the doors of granaries would be made so an aitvaras could enter the home easily.

Some rituals for stealing back from a flying aitvaras exist as well, ranging from simply showing it your bottom, to cutting oneself with a rusty knife, pinning the corner of your jacket to the ground, ripping or otherwise ruining clothing.

Even if the reaction of people to them was mixed, aitvarai were considered pests by the gods due to their tendency to drink/hoard water, for which they were struck dead by Perkūnas, exploding into sparks that caused forest fires, the thunder god's lightning forming ponds, holes and swamps, terraforming the earth.

Happy Dracones Monday! The Glowtail

Happy Dracones Monday; every monday I show off a dragon from my creative project Dracones Mundi, and today's dragon is the glowtail!

This dragon has a few different varieties, such as the Gandaspati (Javan glowtail), the Aitvaras or Pukis (Baltic glowtail), the Eldkvast (Nordic glowtail) and the Glühschwanz (Western glowtail). The bioluminescence is caused by a bacteria that lives in the tough skin of the dragon's tail - these bacteria are magic sensitive and produce a bioluminescent glow when magic is being used. When the dragon takes flight, using magic, the tail glows. This is a useful way to deter predators who weren't expecting a flash of light during a nighttime hunt.

In Dracones Mundi lore these dragons are closely related to cockatrices. Follow @draconesmundi for a new dragon every Monday!

IM FREE this is the final piece for my tapestry class. I definitely got better at tension as I worked so the edges are kinda wonk and that’s okay. Fun technique would do again. Very loosely inspired by Lithuanian aitvaras aka the chicken dragons.

[mmmn-thirsty-for-vinegar]

Bakugou want to have Minato's Aitvaras cause he's like "I want this f****** chicken".

I'll get to the rest eventually, I'm feelin lazy :v

[elvendoodles]

What do you think could be a non elven species that has the fire element

Because for water is obviously fish of all sorts and like mermaids and stuff and for earth its basically any walking animal on land and for air it’s like birds and stuff i assume but what does the fire element have

please tell me you understand what i mean

I have a feeling you probably want to know about races who would primarily use fire magic that aren't elves. But, I'll go through animals/beasts as well. We've seen that any type of animal can have any type of magic, so realistically anything goes.

There are varieties of djinn/"genies" that are commonly associated with fire. A map of Elvendale from season one shows there is a desert region west of Skyra's castle that was never explored, we may have found some djinn here if Elves kept going.

Demons have been mentioned in the series, and we typically associate them with fire. They can be good candidates for a race of fire magic wielders. Oni can also fit into this category, though I'd hesitate to use races covered by other LEGO shows.

In my mind, Dwarfs typically deal in Stone magic, but there are sub-groups who have adapted instead to wield fire.

For animals/beasts that can be closely tied to fire magic:

Dragons are an obvious option that we have gotten in the series, although there are more varieties than just fire.

Phoenix could be another choice as something a little rarer and more mystical. There are other sorts of firebirds from around the world, such as the Basan (Japan), Huma (Iran), or Aitvaras (Lithuania).

Chimeras have been known to breathe fire, but they may be out of place in an Elvendale setting.

Of course there are plenty of fire elementals/spirits to look at depending on your reference culture(s). Same with gods.

Salawa (Arabia) are dog/lion-like beasts covered in flames. Hellhounds run in the same vein, though would probably benefit from a re-naming to fit the world.

While the designers and writer went with Earth as an associated element, Kitsunes are traditionally associated with fire, used to light their way at night. Derived from that, foxes have been paired with fire before.
