Golodos

A golodo is a bright green, moderately large, flightless bird, rather like a large goose on stilts. Excellent swimmers, they subsist primarily on fish, crustaceans, and shellfish. Golodos gather in large flocks during the breeding season in early summer, traveling in small groups during the rest of the year.

Golodos will immediately flee the scent of any predator with surprising, if ungainly speed — except during the nesting season, when they will bravely defend their eggs. Given to snapping up carrion, golodos enjoy the taste of meat: however, they will eat anything, since they are poor hunters.
