Jimana

Jimana are Bird Wyverns that don't pose much of a threat to Hunters on their own. Known for developing hard, sharpened feathers that. They are the juvenile form of [|Jimanagi].

Physiology
Jimana greatly resemble cranes, bearing long legs and long necks. Their feathers are light grey in colour while specific feathers on the back of its head, shoulders and tail are white and slightly longer. Their wings are entirely feathered that turn a lighter shade of grey as they reach the outer edge. Their beaks are narrow and pointed and are orange in colour, with several rows of tiny, barely-visible coned teeth inside. Their legs are orange as well, with three clawed toes that are too short to pose any sort of threat. Its eyes are located on the sides of its head, are rounded and are bright green.

Behavior
Jimana, being so young, are rather ambitious and don't know their own strength. Everything around them is a game to them, sometimes running up to a dangerous monster while being unaware of what they're actually fighting. As they grow older, they are disciplined on an almost daily basis by their parents, which teaches them their place in the area's food chain when they mature. In spite of this, they may still attack other monsters for the sole reason of play-fighting.

Placement In Food Chain
Jimana are very low on the food chain, and can be an easy morsel for any predator given that they avoid the sharp feathers. Unless they are around the adult Jimanagi, they cannot fend off predators.

Behavior Towards Other Monsters
Jimana live in close-knit flocks of brothers and sisters. They are completely reliant on their parents to defend them and supply them with food. If a Jimanagi were to be caught up in a fight, some may flee to another area, but in other cases, some of the reckless ones would stay and fight alongside their parents, either through the knowledge of danger or thinking it is a game.

Tracks
Jimana don't leave any tracks.
