Now and then the serfs of the vultures have enough of the red stains on everything and have to hose off their marines.
Bath day is dreaded by all. They worked hard on that paint and dirt.
Space Vultures are fond of their serfs and keep a lot of personal serfs, while not exactly salamanders or black krakens, they wouldn't risk loosing their serf (who loots things for them from battlefields and are prized for being good at finding things) by hurting them, so their only defense against the dreaded bath is to flee and hide. (/j but like, only a little lol)

This is actually a super-late addition from October's VS art party.
Sometimes, I see a charr that bleeds ANGST--this was one of those. ANGST is my favorite flavor!

Yeah English has a lot of Latin in it, the real problem is that it doesn't have enough.
I am forced (by popular convention) to use the word 'smallness' (a truly despicable abomination) instead of the awesome, Latin-derived 'parvity'

The lack of usage since its coining in the 1600s is truly unfortunate.

Bearded Vulture. In flight.
["Bearded vulture, Gypaetus barbatus, also known as the Lämmergeier, Giant's Castle, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa." by Derek Keats is licensed under CC BY 2.0.]
In brief: Gypaetus barbatus Also known as 'ossifrage' or 'lammergeier' and, culturally, 'Huma' (a mythical bird from Iranian legend). 70-90% of its diet is bone. They can appear with bright red heads, due to rubbing themselves against iron-rich soil. Their wingspans can reach over 9 feet in breadth.
