ARCHIBALD'S REFERENCE - Castien

Finally here's my buddy that I got permission from the lovely Stitchy-Face to create! <3
_{(Castien are a closed species, so don't make your own without a go from Stitch kk)}

I love him..! ;v;
Also, his wings are larger than that, I just made them smaller for the sake of not making the reference so large. c;
The wings are also identical on both sides.

.~.~.~.~.~._BIO_.~.~.~.~.~.

Name: Archibald "Archie" Nagendra
Race: Castien
Gender: Male
Age: 31
Bird: Secretary Bird
Height: 7'4" (humanoid: 5'9")

Element: Earth
Abilities: Can cause smaller vibrations in the earth to lure out rodents and small reptiles when hunting, he can use it to catch up vibrations in the ground made from other creatures as well. He's also a good runner on sand dunes since he can move the grains of sand closer to eachother, making the sand under his paws more impact.

Additional Features: He has a crazy ass crest, big ears for better hearing, large and wide paws, he's nearly immune towards snake venom and his wings are also identical on both sides (his left wing isn't shown to easier show his full design).

Positive Personality Traits: Attentive and alert, Friendly, Independent, Calculating
Negative Personality Traits: Neurotic- that's all (which means he's anxious, cynical, overstrained, confused, impulsive and more)

Hunting Technique: Uses his elemental powers to lure out potential preys from their nest or dens in the ground , where he then take a big leap, pounces them and then pound them to death.

Likes: Snakes, Frogs, High grass, Compliments
Dislikes: Fire, Surprises, Being chased, Mud
______

So while he actually prefers being down on the ground, he's good at flying as well. His landings can be a bit awkward though, and prefers not trying to sit perched on branches. Archibald is pretty much nomadic, and wanders from place to place, trying to avoid potential threats.
During the first 20 years of his life, he traveled in a pack of 4 and was higly valued for his vigilance. Although, being gathered caught some attackers attention and everyone but him got their life taken away, which left quite an impact on his mental state.

So yeah, don't go sneaking up on him - he has a reflex of instantly slapping the intruder, and it hurts.
