Pollrt

The Pollrt is a medium-sized gamebird originating from the planet Orceron. It is a sedentary species, breeding in forests and tundra. They are hardy vegetarian birds, but insects are also taken by the developing young.

The male pollrt is unique in its nesting behaviour; it often takes responsibility of the young by staunchly defending his territory and his young. Males have even been documented to have attacked significantly larger animals and will attack anyone who distracts their young.

In some regions of Orceron, the pollrt represented purity, and were considered spirit messengers and any unusual grouse behaviour was interpreted as a bad omen, most often death or illness.
