Goldenrod Khastwim (Charadrionuchys avalonica; Bengali: খাস্তুঈং "Khāstu'īṁ") is the one of the fictional species of medium-sized plover introduced in Weather Dragons.
Etymology
The word comes from Bengali: "sickle wing". In both word and Bengali script: কাস্তে (Kāstē) means "sickle" and উইং (U'iṁ) means "wing".
In native Sawintiran Saurfolk is Chonglapov; means "sickle dancer".
Physical Appearance
Goldenrod Khastwim has a long pointed brown bill with yellow tip, brown masked eyes, goldenrod colored feathers with dark brown tips, brown collar, red round on the center of the chest with eight rays, hue dark brown lines on shorts, fan-shaped tail, long expanded wings like lapwings and with dark lines on each. Goldenrod Khastwim has long grayish brown spurs that are long in wings like a katana.
Khastwim is a medium sized plover taller than human, as a result of insular gigantism. The feathers are denser than other feathers of plover for waterproofing. The color skin was yellow to brown, with brownish plump-breasted bands on their collar, white on the underneath, and red markings. Their legs are scaly reddish, with long talons on the baby finger. Their beak is longer than their ancestor. Yellow tipped beak and black.
The eye color of Khastwim is brown. Khastwim are capable of standing on one leg unlike their ancestors.
Abilities
Goldenrod Khastwim performs the professional dance fighting with their spurs longer than spur-winged plovers as sharper than sword. Khastwim is capable of using its wings as a defensive shield or a bludgeoning weapon by fanning it out. It is able to be clouded by nitrogenous based magical powers as well, which bounce across the ground and leave small patches of smoke behind into a fog after it explodes into larger fog.
It is also capable of rushing at very high speed, and using its blade tipped wings or their feet to swipe at enemies. It is also capable of flight and aerial attacks.
Ecology
Goldenrod Khastwim is a medium-sized middle of the food chain in various biomes like swamp, forest, and others. Using their long spurs sharper than sword can poke through the flesh.
Behavior
Goldenrod Khastwim is very docile to humans and other races, but very aggressive towards cats (including Elder Dragons) for males. While for young females, it will pretend it has a broken wing - calling loudly and limping along as it stretches out one wing and fans its tail.
Distribution and Habitat
Goldenrod Khastwim was found elsewhere in prairie and other marshlands worldwide in Avalon and Earth. Planet Earth was very rare in Bangladesh as first recorded in the Silk Road.

Tamed
Create three or more bolas, tranq arrows, bullets, or darts, and narcotics in case they attempt to wake up. On the beaches, locate one. Sprinkle some bola over it. Use your tranq items (wait five seconds between each shot; if you don't, you'll only cause damage). Push mollusks or fish meat down the animal's throat. If it tries to wake up, use narcotics. Likewise, hold off until you can make the saddle. The only other option is for survivors to steal a Khastwim egg. Khastwim chicks need to be fed or milked as soon as they hatch. Up so noobs can see.
