Crowdodo
A hybrid of Crow + Dodo
The Crowdodo (Corvus dodoensis) is a medium-sized bird with a robust, plump body reminiscent of the extinct dodo, yet adorned with the glossy black feathers of a crow. It has a broad, rounded beak designed for both foraging and defense, and its large, intelligent eyes gleam with curiosity. The Crowdodo possesses strong, short legs that support its bulky frame, allowing for surprising bursts of speed when necessary. Its wings, though not designed for long flights, enable it to glide gracefully between trees in its forested habitat.
