Piasa Bird

The Illini Indians were one of two or three tribes near Alton, Huber said. “The Piasa” means a bird that devours men, in Illini Indian words.

The Elder Dragon, known as the Piasa Bird, has two wings, four legs, and six legs like a vertebrate beast. Long, pointed thorns on their phalanges, white undersides with red wing membranes, and clawless wing fingers are features of their wings. The skin was yellow and light orange in hue, and it had scaled skin and a fish-shaped tail that ranged in color from tan to brown and had tan diamond tips for bait. Because they are a sexually dimorphic species, their proto-feathers are the same for both genders and are green for males and yellowish orange for females. They had a pale green proto-feather for a beard. The Piasa Bird's antlers are five-pronged for males and three for females.

The size of this species was taller than humans, at 3.4 meters in height, a wingspan estimated at 4.6 meters, and 760 kg in weight.

The Piasa Bird is extremely uncommon; it was a highly strong but delicate creature. Due to their green tint, their feathers are mistaken for bushes or shrubs, despite the fact that their wings are extremely harmful and can cause bleeding. They breathe fire, call lightning, blow wind, thrash the river into a projectile of water, and have other deadly breath and skills.

The creature was said to have snatched either creatures or members of the tribe living near the river. It had a shuddering scream that was said to shake the earth below. Even though it's not likely that anyone would miss it, it's very sneaky and mischievous; when you hear the scream of the beast, you're dead. Even though it had one weakness, it was very hard to take this beast down; it took years and blood spilled just to find out what its weakness was.

Despite being dangerous, the Piasa Bird is pretty pointless, curious, and docile to humans except for attack.

The Piasa Bird was native to all habitats in North America, from Honduras to Canada, due to being very intelligent and surviving in any environment.

• How the Piasa Bird was created and encountered by Illinoisan Native Americans in the first place. This animal was created by gods and is now a stray animal from the Pleistocene.

• The village was a secure and happy place. The chief of the Illini was Ouatoga (Watoga). He was old and had led his tribe in the ways of peace for most of his lifetime. Ouatoga and his people loved their home and their way of life. Then one morning, as the sun began to climb towards the summit of its cloudless sky, terror touched the Illini. The village stirred. A number of younger braves were leaving on an early morning fishing expedition. Some were already on the river in their canoes, others preparing to embark, when suddenly the very earth seemed to shudder with the sound of an alien scream.

• The Piasa Bird attacked and took one of the braves, and after that, it got worse. It came back, picking them off one by one. The village felt helpless, so they turned to their chief to find a solution to this disaster. The creature seemed invulnerable, and even the greatest of the village could not beat it. Ouatoga appealed to the Great Spirit. For nearly a full moon, he prayed and fasted. Then, in a dream, he found the answer. The body of the Piasa bird was not protected under the wings. After offering thanks to the Great Spirit, Ouatoga called the tribe together and devised a plan that could destroy the Piasa Bird.
