Crookwing

"'Poppy!' 'What?' 'He's got into the corn again!' 'Ah, fudgenugets.'" Breed name: Crookwing

Bird inspiration: Corvid (crow)

Class: Broadwing

Subclass: Short-hop

Overview
True to their name, these pegs are crafty, mischievous, and all sorts of playful. They tend to get into trouble, and very few pilots choose to keep or breed them due to their dark coloring and general association with "bad luck."

Those that are brave enough to ride a crookwing, however, have discovered they are intelligent, loyal, and have excellent memories for both faces and food. The only drawback is that no matter what you use to secure them, a crookwing will get loose.

Coloration and Conformation
These pegs are dark in color, usually black or dark brown. They rarely have markings, and do not generally come in lighter colors unless cross-bred.

With a short back and wings that tend to be strong but short, these pegs are classified as a "short-hop" breed, and may be good for crossing small chasms or ferrying a single rider between towns, but should not be expected to fly long distances or carry heavy loads.
