Puffwump

== Description ==
=== Behavior ===
* live in large groups of dozens of individuals. They may not be the strongest, but they are surprisingly bright for such small creatures. 
* The large groups live in complex burrows underground, using several burrows for different purposes. Communal nesting dens, food storage dens, and spacious sleeping dens are among the most common to see in warrens. 
* Their light bodies aid in keeping them above freshly fallen snow, but they have no issues traveling through thick snow by digging their way through. 
* As a defense strategy, have been known to rapidly burrow themselves in snow to hide from predators. 
* Although they usually choose to flee or hide from a dangerous situation, when it comes down to fighting, they rely on their large digging claws to scratch at their attackers. If other individuals are nearby, they will all quickly follow suit and pile on top of the predator. It’s not the most effective, but it is a sight to behold. 
* Newly hatched have no feathers, and are kept underground in warm burrows until they grow their first feathers. They don’t get their bright tail plumes or spotting until adulthood.
=== Artist Headcanon ===
* A group of s is called a Puffle.

The body is white, with some patches of orange-yellow on the body, and a fully orange tail fan. Its skin is grayish shade of brown, with small darker brown freckles on its beak.

== Trivia ==
* Concept art by kazooduder in the Creatures of Sonaria discord.
** Inspired by roadrunners, feathered raptors, and burrowing birds.
** Another heavy inspiration was an illustration of Leaellynasaura in the book All Yesterdays by C.M. Kösemen, John Conway, and Darren Naish.
* Despite the description explicitly stating that lives in cold environments, it originally didn't have the winter tag. Later received the winter tag and now has immunity to the cold effects.
* It's commonly called "chicken" and "puff" because of its appearance.
