| Tentacle Bird of Pelemax |  |
| The elusive tentacle bird of Pelemax is one of the more unusual forms of avian life found in the Colonies region of the galaxy. Thought to be a mutation by some and a hybrid life-form by others, these flightless jungle avians sport a pair of long, bluish-green tentacles along their upper torso in place of wings. Generations ago, native Pelemaxians used these creatures as personal mounts in time of war. They were aided by the creature's fierce war cry which could cause consideration confusion and disarray in the enemy's ranks. Modern-day Pelemaxians domesticate the wild tentacle bird as a ready means of caravan and personal transport. The tentacle bird is capable of sustained travel without water. Tentacle birds are often shipped off-world, at great profit, as beasts of burden for desert or jungle worlds where water and other provisions are scarce. Tentacle bird exports are fast becoming a mainstay of the local economy, as well as being an increasingly common mount on the galaxy's wilderness worlds. | |
