Description(s)
Descriptions are example(s) from a single individual. Variations may be numerous, and dependent upon species, gender, age, location, and other variables.
Anting Quail
The anting quail is a small, silly ground bird, covered with little brown spots which are presumably designed to hide the creature from its predators. Given its apparent tendency to run around in circles cooing shrilly, and cuddle up to any larger animal that approaches, they probably don't give it a lot of help.

Chequered Quail
This quail is a small, plump bird with next to no tail and anxious, beady eyes. Its broad chest is a soft shade of peach, while each feather on its back and head is divided in equal parts into black and cream, giving it a chequered appearance.

Duke's Quail
The duke's quail is a plump brown bird with a pleasant air of busy-ness. So-called for its frequent guest appearances on the dining tables of the nobility, it nevertheless seems quite amiably disposed towards people, as it bustles happily around scratching the ground for Objects of Interest.
- Alignment: 3 degrees of good
Pheasant Quail
The pheasant quail is a large green bird with a black-masked face and an imperious air. Its plump body and feeble wings are patterned with green and black, and its elaborately plumed tail, for which it is named, is a small cascade of velvet green and silver-grey.
