Common Cygnowyrm, Piebald Cygnowyrm, Toreno's Cygnowyrm, Cygniausbird, or simply as Cygnowyrm, (Pseudocygnus germanica) is one of the mythical creatures and guardians introduced in Worldcraft: Swan Princess's Story.

Etymology

Cygnowyrm is the combination of words between cygnus, from Latin means swan and wyrm, is a kind of dragon without any limbs or legs despite their name.

Physical Appearance

Common Cygnowyrm superficially resembles a swan. Its body is covered in plumage and is white with a black neck and head and a greyish-yellow bill. It has a red knob near the base of the bill and grayish-blue stripe flesh behind the eye. Common Cygnowyrm's sexes are similar, with the female slightly smaller. The Common Cygnowyrm Cygnet has a light gray plumage with a black bill and feet. There are hints of yellow on its legs that end in scaly feet that have two talons and one small vestigial toe. Its wings have bright, dark-blue membranes. Along its wings are long, blade-like claws. Its flattened tail ends in a three-pointed shape.


The color schemes used by Common Cygnowyrm are now monochromatic designs based on hues from black to white. From a light blue flesh face to one that is tan and sepia in hue The beak of the Common Cygnowyrm was modified from yellow to gray and black. The tail, waist, wingtips, and wings are all blue, all in blue-gradient shades, taking away the color of the Common Cygnowyrm.

Abilities

The Common Cygnowyrm's pinion can produce yellow scales that disorient prey and put them in a confused state. It can produce an ultrasound beam that can easily put prey to sleep. The claws along its wings are usually hidden but are revealed once the bird becomes enraged. In rage mode, it will begin to use these claws as weapons. In the near future, Common Cygnowyrm can also direct these vibrations and enchanted songs altogether as direct attacks against hunters, combining their energy into powerful aimed rays.


Common Cygnowyrm are known for their ability to grieve for a lost or dead mate or cygnet. The cygnowyrm uses the enchanted song to summon aid from various monsters, as well as heal them and boost their abilities. Or to perform a unique enchanted "song" that gives the sleeping enemy a nightmare. This nightmare can actually knock out or even kill multiple enemies at once, but this nightmarish song can only be heard by sleeping hunters, which is caused by a lost or dead mate or cygnet as revenge.

Ecology

Like swans, the Common Cygnowyrms are usually strongly territorial, with just a single pair on smaller lakes, though in a few locations where a large area of suitable feeding habitat is found, they can be colonial. Unlike the swans as well, non-mated juveniles up to 3–4 years old commonly form larger flocks, which can total several hundred birds, often at regular traditional sites.


Common Cygnowyrms have long, sharp claws that are usually hidden while this creature isn't using them on its wings for offense. These claws allow it to fly better yet quieter, and although it has been questioned whether this heavyweight could still take flight, like bustards, Cygnowyrm has hidden scales and feathers that gather sound and emit a strange echo pattern. Inside its feathers are strange grayish-gold scales that are released when it erects its feathers. These feathers put prey in a confused state once inhaled, making prey see images in places where they really aren't.


Common Cygnowyrm has a powerful set of lungs, which gives it the ability to produce extremely loud, concussive roars that can physically damage nearby objects. It also sings enchanted voices and uses its masterful vocal mimicry abilities to summon aid from various creatures. So be careful. This theropod lured mariners to destruction by their chorus-like singing as a defense mechanism or territorial marking behavior.

Behavior

Cygnowyrms and swans can be very aggressive in defense of their nests and are highly protective of their mates and offspring. Most defensive acts from a cygnowyrm begin with a loud hiss and, if this is not sufficient to drive off the predator or intruder, are followed by a physical attack. This dinosaur attacks by striking at the threat with bony spurs in their wings, accompanied by biting with their large bill.


This animal was scandalous, like abnormal feathering, constant preening of feathers even in the absence of external parasites, increased aggression like feather pecking or cannibalism, and even aimless and restless pacing of birds that are now viciously attacking anything that they perceive as a threat to their chicks, including humans.

Distribution and Habitat

Common Cygnowyrm is found naturally mainly in temperate deciduous to tropical monsoon forest areas of Europe and Asia, then across North America to Colombia. It is partially migratory throughout northern latitudes in Europe and Asia, as far south as North Africa and the Mediterranean, to Central America. However, the Common Cygnowyrm was spotted in Australia as a migratory species. Many Cygnowyrms are found in such realms as Reinachos, Delphia, and Sawintir.


Tamed

Common Cygnowyrm cannot be tamed, but the hatchling is fed by using fish. Common Cygnowyrms are immediately domesticated when they hatch from an egg because the survivor is always within 17 radii of the hatching egg. If the Common Cygnowyrm isn't already trained, you can train it with a whip, veggie leaves, meat, seaweed-wrapped meat, or fish meat.

Lore

Bereshit - 30000-10000 BCE

Project Pashneia, a scientific project by the Terran branch of the Aesirs or Deities to construct any animals, monsters, or humans in terms of their own, was responsible for creating all species of Cygnowyrms.


Swan Princess's Story - May 3018

Both Princess Odette and even her cousin, Clarabelle, are cursed into a bird called Cygnowyrm. Same of the curses into the birds from Archie, Isabella, Jorinda, and Varian into songbirds by Rothbart before Isabella and Archie arrive. Archie became an indigo bunting, Isabella became a yellow-fronted canary, and Derek became a chestnut munia under Rothbart only during the nighttime (6:00 PM to 4:00 AM) until he was feared and crushed by the cannon rat's rolling. Rothbart was tranquilized by Queen Arianna's pistol sword to prevent the plague in Hybornia.
