Zird

Zirds are a native reptilian-avian native to the Hussir Homeworld.

Biology
Zirds are bio-luminescent with avian and reptilian characteristics. Similar to an Earth parrot it can mimic words. These creatures were used by the Haafin to encourage humans in the Hussirs herds to escape so that the Wild Humans could recruit them to their cause to liberate their fellow brothers and sisters.
