Re: January Midmonth - Hippalectryon
Male Adult blue/green phase
EDIT: male adult changed to gold/green phase at 6:00 am MS time
Text:
Despite their small size, hippalectryons are handsome creatures once their adult feathers grow in. Both males and females have a rooster's sickle tail feathers, a brown speckled coat, and feathers that vary from white to coppery. Rare black hippalectryons are said to be good luck, and tend to grow slightly larger than most of these creatures. Although they have wings, hippalectryons can only fly for short distances, usually up to roosts or the tops of short buildings. On the ground, they can move surprisingly fast, usually on four legs through they may switch to their hind legs for a burst of speed. Adult hippalectryons will make a variety of noises, including chirps, clucks, crows, whinnies, grunts, snorts, and neighs, but they seem to make most of these noises somewhat at random, often as an expression of surprise or confusion.

Re: January Midmonth - Hippalectryon
Adult female sprite, no gender dimorphism
Sometimes I wish that for the creatures without gender dimorphism, they would at least flip the sprite to face in the other direction for one gender, so having a pair doesn’t look totally identical.
I like these a lot. The colors are very pretty on both versions and the sprites are very well done. Excellent work, MS staff!

I am in the process of moving house, so I will not be around much for the foreseeable future.

Re: January Midmonth - Hippalectryon
I'm loving the black coloration I'm confused about it though; according to the description, if the common variant is the brown speckled w/ white and copper feathers and the black is rare, why does the sprite change based on time of day?
