⚔️ Ecological Combat Rationale
Ecomorphologically adapted beak and agile strike momentum tailored to its foraging competition niche (ATK 48).
Lightweight agility and protective plumage camouflage favoring rapid evasive maneuverability over raw armor (DEF 38).
* These descriptions interpret game abilities, not measured physical strength. Generated scores use body mass, rarity and balancing rules; legacy cards retain manual values.
How to identify
