Serakk

The Serakk are a species of 6-winged sapient alien from the planet of Aetheralius.

Appearance and Biology

Like most non-marine fauna on Aetheralius, Serakk spend the vast majority of their lives in flight. They have six large, feathered wings in which they use to stay in the air for up to days at a time before they need to land. These wings allow for extreme agility when flying. Serakk also have two sharp, and much thinner limbs which they use to walk and hold onto floating objects during periods of rest. Serakk are covered in mainly white and gray feathers to help them better blend in with the clouds they tend to hunt in. Serakk are carnivores and thus have sharp teeth, and even sharper eyesight. The head of a Serakk notably bears some resemblance to that of Earth's Virginia Opossum, though lacking the ear lobes and more prominent pink nose.

Culture

The Serakk live in large settlements made of many different buildings that are tethered together and lifted into the sky with thousands of hydrogen balloons. As a result, unlike almost any other sapient species in the galaxy, Serakk settlements are almost always being carried with the wind gusts that are abundant at high altitudes. The Serakk are also known for their multiple unique sports, as well as other games, that are a huge staple of their culture and planet, with the larger of these sporting events often being broadcast throughout most Alliance of Planets worlds. Variations of these sports have been made by other aerial alien cultures.

Powers and Abilities

The Serakk have 6 very powerful wings that allows them to fly at high speeds for hours on end without needing to stop, as well as enabling them to stay on the wing for up to 36 hours straight. Serakk have a good sense of eyesight and hearing, as well as powerful vocal structures that allow them to communicate over long distances. Being predators, Serakk have sharp teeth and a prehensile tongue that holds dispatched prey in a Serakk's mouth and helps prevent them from dropping it on accident.
