Speaking of which, the race is coming to a close to see which community creature will roam the landscapes of The Center. Only three more days to cast your vote! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/8729288/90266826bbac9b824c9258726f9c6f9de18e2c64.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/8729288/998e269529ddef5550a3793aa277b6cc0b5a1f67.jpg Download in full resolution {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/8729288/a46d34e792f30e7a1ea49663f8a01ee48d6ff1a7.png Species: Yi Ling Time: Late Jurassic Diet: Omnivore Temperament: Aloof {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/8729288/3cc360e23bbff453429a0b55b594a598b49bab53.png This feathered fella is so much bigger than the Yi species I knew in my day! Despite its aberrant size, Yi ling is still somehow light enough to cling to walls and it can even glide short distances. It’s light on its feet as well, able to dodge attacks on the run. I’m glad Yi seems to prefer prey smaller than itself, because it can eject a spray of barbed feathers at an unhappy target before darting in to rip them back out. Its unique firepower may expose Yi in the short term, but its protective plumage regrows fast. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/8729288/05ffcc62e054b4e83903dd6acabebca1edd4b8a7.png
