The Snowdrifter Simurgh (Caninornis cryophilos; Persian: سیمرغ رقصنده یخ, simorgh raqsande yakh) is the Agarthan variant of Simurgh, the mythical creature introduced in Worldcraft: Scorched Earth and Weather Dragons: Steal Scene of Gaugamela War.
The Persian word sīmurğ (سیمرغ) derives from Middle Persian 𐭮𐭩𐭭𐭬𐭥𐭫𐭥 sēnmurw (and earlier sēnmuruγ), also attested in Pazend texts as sīna-mrū. The Middle Persian word comes from Avestan 𐬨𐬆𐬭𐬆𐬖𐬋⸱𐬯𐬀𐬉𐬥𐬋 mərəγō Saēnō "the bird Saēna", originally a raptor, likely an eagle, falcon, or sparrowhawk, as can be deduced from the etymological cognate Sanskrit śyenaḥ (श्येनः) "raptor, eagle, bird of prey", which also appears as a divine figure. On the other hand, the phrase sī murğ (سی مرغ) means "thirty birds" in Persian.
Singular: simurgh
Plural: simurghs
Snowdrifter Simurgh is the only Simurgh species that evolved from Agartha to Iran thousands of years ago. This animal had dark blue feathers to dull grayish yellow underbelly with dark tipped on the feathers, yellow scaly legs, and navy blue colored eye tails like peacocks. Snowdrifter Simurgh was covered with ice on its face, ears, neck, legs, tail and tail tips.
Similar to owls, Snowdrifter Simurghs can fly silently thanks to their unique soft feathers, which allow them to ambush fish, birds, insects, and rodents day or night. Snowdrifter Simurghs are not adept swimmers. They rarely, if ever, willingly land in water because their tiny feet are worthless for paddling, but they are known to execute a "flight-plunge"—they will fly low over water and briefly dip their stomachs or breasts into the surface to drink or bathe "on the wing."
Resembles the abilities from Pokemon known as Articuno, the Snowdrifter Simurgh has the power to control ice at will. When the Agarthan variant flaps its wings, it can chill the moisture in the air around it, making snow fall. Snowdrifter Simurgh can fire icy squirting tears to the enemies like a machine gun on the jet plane to freeze for like the offensive or defensive. This weight is the herculean abilities, causing thumps its one foot to create the icy domain and improves and enhances ice and fire elements. Snowdrifter Simurgh shoots random ice including attacks like ice tornadoes, ice beams, ice balls, or ice breaths mixed with nitrogen and sulfur causing scorched earth unlike normal Simurgh.
Blizzard 🌨️ – To produce varying amounts of snowfall, the Simurgh exhales the snowy fog from its beak.
Temperature Changing
Coming As flying carnivores, simurghs mostly hunt insects, spiders, pillbugs, small vertebrates, and even crustaceans. In a variety of settings, these large nightjars are great markers of animal diversification. They nest on the ground, but only in isolated places like mountains. Instead of constructing a nest, they deposit two disguised eggs in a shallow "scrape" on the ground.
Breeds December–February in the north.
Pair bonds typically monogamous; 1–5 broods per season.
Nest scrape on the ground; usually 2–7 eggs laid directly on soil/leaves.
Incubation ~17–50 days; chicks fledge in ~17–97 days.
Snowdrifter Simurgh is the neutral bird and rarely finds the lost people and rescues him/her from abandon. Truly is, the species is neutral and rarely wanders around in the mountains or desert worldwide. The only Agarthan species was friendly to humans because of their good reputation.
Habitat Loss: Destruction of heathlands, moorlands, mountains, and plateaus.
Pesticides: Massive declines in fauna populations (their main food source).
Disturbance: Because they nest on the ground, they are highly vulnerable to off-leash dogs and hikers.
