The tritail (\ ˈtrī-tāl \) is a humming-bird size bird. It appears as a tiny yellow swift with a tri-forked tail. It is often found in small groups of about a half-dozen, but can sometimes be found in a swarm of several dozen (especially in mating season).
Their main diet is insects and seeds, keeping their force dart ability for protection. However, they will sometimes hunt giant insects or small animals that might prove a threat to their territory.
Their most dangerous attack is a projection of their life-force (ki), manifesting as a force dart (similar to a single magic missile).
