Physical Description
Glimmerwings are large, winged creatures said to have been born from the very essence of the forest's luminescent mushrooms. Their wings are a mesh of iridescent fibers that refract light into a dazzling array of colors.
They are said to have a wingspan of up to 20 feet, with a body covered in a thin, downy fur that shimmers like stardust.
Their eyes glow like lanterns in the dark, and are said to see right through the veil of reality.
Habitat
Glimmerwings are said to inhabit the highest reaches of the Forest of Fears, where the trees grow twisted and gnarled with age.
They are drawn to areas of high magical energy, such as ancient ruins and forgotten clearings.
Behavior
Glimmerwings are said to be fiercely independent creatures, only gathering in large groups during the rare and mystical "Glimmerwings' Eclipse."
During this event, they will congregate in the skies above the forest, creating a spectacle of light and color that has been known to mesmerize even the most skeptical of travelers.
Legends and Folklore
According to ancient lore, Glimmerwings are said to possess ancient wisdom, passed down through the generations of their kin.
They are said to hold the secrets of the forest, and are often sought out by those seeking to unlock the mysteries of the natural world.
