Wait did I ever post my glorious goldilocks gryphon?
a tawny gryphon with grey-feathered wings
With grey-feathered wings unfurled, a tawny gryphon is here, surrounded by a halo of white light.
This legendary, kingly creature is a beast bred to possess both the upper build of an eagle and the lower build of a lion, bearing a lithesome body covered in short, tawny fur as he stretches on his powerful hind-legs. In contrast, his avian head is feathered, two long and elegant plumes tipping his ears as they attend to every sound, his cerulean eyes shining with quiet serenity. Soft, downy feathers of purest white form a regal crest, not unsimilar to the effect of a lion's mane. Enormous, grey-feathered wings protrude from his back, unfurling with grand purpose to double his already impressive span of length. His white-furred tail whipping about restlessly behind him, he clenches and unclenches his front talons, surrounded by a halo of white light. He is called 'Shantu.'
Some might consider him boring, but that combination of features is so perfect for Daraius. :x Apparently he could have had a matching aura of effortless serenity too, but I'd burned so much zimoru to get the tawny fur/grey feather combo I didn't want to chance another.
For posterity's sake, here is his incredible original form, which I was very tempted to keep, but couldn't think of an RP avenue to justify it at the time.
a bone-white gryphon with skeletal black wings
With skeletal black wings unfurled, a bone-white gryphon is here, exuding a blood-flecked aura of suppressed violence.
This legendary, kingly creature is a beast bred to possess both the upper build of an eagle and the lower build of a lion, bearing a lithesome body covered in short, bone-white fur as he stretches on his powerful hind-legs. In contrast, his avian head is feathered, two long and elegant plumes tipping his ears as they attend to every sound, his eyes glowing a soft red. Soft, downy feathers of purest white form a regal crest, not unsimilar to the effect of a lion's mane. Enormous, skeletal black wings protrude from his back, unfurling with grand purpose to double his already impressive span of length. His white-furred tail whipping about restlessly behind him, he clenches and unclenches his front talons, exuding a blood-flecked aura of suppressed violence. He is called 'Shantu.'
I will never understand why you didn't keep the zimoru that gave you the violet gryphon with the rose quartz-dusted wings and perfumed lavender mist, though. Whyyyyyyyyyy...
I mean, yes, it was way too froufrou for Daraius. But it was so pretty.
With silken wings dusted with rose quartz unfurled, a violet gryphon is here, enveloped in a perfumed, lavender mist.
Shantu was straight up embarrassed looking like that! Now he's at the perfect middle ground between that and his original form, and he's got grey feathers like all the best winged Shevats.
An impressive specimen of a manticore queen, this scarlet, lionesque creature towers over her surroundings with unfurled skeletal black wings, grinning to reveal three gruesome rows of razor- sharp, crystalline teeth. She tosses a wispy white mane with a disdainful snort, its colour gleaming against the fur that covers the entirety of her muscular physique. Her bloodshot eyes gleam with a predator's killer instinct, wildly darting from one place to the next. She somehow possesses, against all reason, a barbed scorpion's tail, glistening with venom. She is called 'Gamme.' A scarlet manticore with a wispy white mane looks to be crushingly strong. She weighs about 125 pounds.
My parrot matured! It is so pretty that I almost can't bear administering zimoru, even for SCIENCE.
a purple-throated paradise parrot
Colourful and exotic to behold, a purple-throated paradise parrot preens pink-and-lilac wings here, sweeping brushstrokes of twilight colours dancing about her form.
Every colour the sky has ever known ornaments this extraordinarily colourful, purple-throated bird, whose rainbow plumage shimmers as if newly painted by the Gods. She raises her neck proudly to reveal the deeply turquoise plumage of her breast, a colour which sharply contrasts against the scarlet feathers on her legs and the yellow of her underbelly. Her emerald eyes glittering with the promise of creation, she fans out an impressive tail that doubles her entire length, each slender, elegant plume painted a brighter shade than the last. She idly preens pink-and-lilac wings with her strong, curved beak, which shines a lustrous pearl to match her leisurely curling talons. Her rare beauty unquestioned, her avian silhouette is outlined by sweeping brushstrokes of twilight colours, dancing about her in sporadic arcs.
Beyond that, innates not that great because it has a combo of PvP and PvE skills as opposed to being specialized in only one aspect... but hey, everyone loves @Isune, so everyone got a parrot and is now experimenting with the zimoru.

So, no actual info on what it comes with. Meanies. :P
Not that I'm interested in getting on myself. I despise parrots. I'm always just curious to see what the divine dingbat beasts get. Need to know so I can be super jealous of Isunites like I am of Morgy's poos (I refer to him as Morgypoo in my head, not sure why, just gotten stuck in there like that).

Best bashing beast out of the box will still remain Shikari's.

Have you ever held a parrot hatchling?
*Elanorwen grabs Tarkenton's hands and stuffs a tiny chirping bird in them*
Isn't it so small and light and downy? Like you're holding a beaky peepy lil' cloud! It's so adorable you can't help but hug it and cuddle it and stuff regurgitated food in its teeny-tiny mouth.

Everiine said: The reason population is low isn't because there are too many orgs. It's because so many facets of the game are outright broken and protected by those who benefit from it being that way. An overabundance of gimmicks (including game-breaking ones), artifacts that destroy any concept of balance, blatant pay-to-win features, and an obsession with convenience that makes few things actually worthwhile all contribute to the game's sad decline.
Skysilver, voidcopper, zigzagivium, celestial gold, Nifilhema nipple ring iron, the list goes on..

Colourful and exotic to behold, a jewel-toned paradise parrot preens diaphanous wings of cloud gossamer here, sweeping brushstrokes of rainbow colours dancing about her form.
Every colour the sky has ever known ornaments this extraordinarily colourful, jewel-toned bird, whose rainbow plumage shimmers as if newly painted by the Gods. She raises her neck proudly to reveal the deeply turquoise plumage of her breast, a colour which sharply contrasts against the scarlet feathers on her legs and the yellow of her underbelly. Her amethyst eyes glassy with romantic notions, she fans out an impressive tail that doubles her entire length, each slender, elegant plume painted a brighter shade than the last.

Why's it all gotta be edgy.
Also, Celest has regular fire. Except it's water.

A dark obsidian wyvern with blood-streaked velvet wings
Glorious, sunset-hued flames spiral up and around a dark obsidian wyvern with blood-streaked velvet
wings as she breathes them into being, causing the flames to dance around her in a colourful display.
Serpentine in her lissome build, this wyvern stands upon two powerful hind legs, preceded by a set of front legs that are smaller, but clawed and savage. Her dark obsidian hide glistens amidst skittering gold sparks, her scales ever-wreathed in a sweltering heat that leaves the colours hazy and rippling like a desert mirage. Muscular and slender, the wyvern bares sharp fangs, expelling a puff of hot air with her long snout as she flaps blood-streaked velvet wings. She flicks her tail idly, blue eyes alight with cunning. She is called 'Wessex.'
Mysrai, the Beckoner Beyond the Maze intones, "Continue to manifest the paradigm of working, My Alary."
The Divine voice of Camus the Cinderfly echoes in your head, "Thank you, once-body. I am happy that I fell into that eye."

Lots of parrot cheer!
I have more zimoru'ing to do before I achieve parrot perfection, but here's a highlight from yesterday's round: (They're all pretty though!)
