The Ptashki are a race of sapient flying mammal-bird hybrids, meaning they carry traits of both. They have been created (by me) specifically to test the limits of Spore and remain doable in the game. The various parts they possess are those that have so far been seen in Spore. I do have some pictures of them, I just need to get the scanner up and running.

Anyways, here are some characteristics:
*slightly asymmetrical
*humanoid shoulder/arm, splits at joint to two more arms.
*Top left arm ET like, Top Right weapon (horn)
*Bottom arms insect like, 5 appendages
*bird-like wings on back
*Neck arches from shoulders, over head, and then connects on top.
*Two Z-shaped limbs for legs with velociraptor feet.
*Slim body, 3 feet tall, very social, have feathers resting on left shoulder, right leg, little spikes on opposites
Here's the wiki article:
PtashkiHere's a little story about them and their evolution:
There are no asymmetrical or flying creatures on their homeworld. The Ptashki noticed this difference and thus think they came from someplace else. This is only reinforced by the fact that their DNA is only 80% on common with their nearest relative and that their moon has life.

They believe they came to sapience by a need to memorize island locations on their homeworld, and what resources each island had. This snowballed into tribal Phase!! (Next Post, most likely). Any comments?
