Falcoslontus morspotatori
The descendant of Aveslontus peregris, A. morspotatori is the largest flying musculate of Zone D. It grows to a length of 2 feet and has a wingspan of 5 feet. It has two large yellow eyes which it uses to spot prey below from it's roost high in the canopy of M. longatumus and M. sustensa. It uses it's prehensile tail to hang from the branches high in the canopy. It's mottled green color pattern allows it to blend in with the canopy. It has a set of large, robust wings in order for it dive bomb and attack. Unlike it's ancestor, its bill has been fused together to form a sharp, hollow tube. When A. morspotatori hunts, it dives from the canopy and impales it's victims, the thick projection on top prevents prey from sliding up its bill. Once impaled, A. morspotatori uses its long proboscis to suck the victim dry of fluids. Once finished it throws the carcass off and flies back to the canopy where it can either sleep or wait for its next victim. Mating happens during the wet seasons. When two A. morspotatori meet, they use their claspers to reach one another without moving. The female's clasper is wider, allowing the male to insert his into the female's. Once finished, the female waits 14 days to lay her 30 eggs. The eggs are about an inch wide and are green and sticky, allowing them to cling on to the branch for about 2 weeks. After 2 weeks, the young are about 5 inches long and hang from the trees. Using their syringe-like bill, they drink the fluids of the tree their on for another 5 months. After 5 months begin hunting and they are about a foot long with 2 foot wingspans. A. morspotatori preys upon A. glidensis, A. opposa, A. soarus, A. flectopensus, and A. flectopensus. A. morspotatori take about three years to fully mature.
