We know kandra can imitate animals - TenSoon is particularly great at using his dog bones to his advantage. But you know what I want? Kandra birds and in particular Kandra vultures
(BoM spoilers under the cut)
In Bands we find that we are entering the age of flight. This clearly means that we need a kandra who realizes they should learn to imitate a bird so they can keep up. VenDell tells us that small animals (like bunnies - thanks Wayne - also I really want to know more about “that book”) are extremely difficult because they “need a certain mass to hold [their] cognitive functions.” This probably rules out small song birds, but there are large birds of prey that might be big enough. One of the largest birds (discounting ostriches and emu that can’t fly) is the Eurasian black vulture that can get up to 30 lbs. I really like the idea of a kandra vulture. Can this please happen?
Then we can get the kandra vulture who has an intimate understanding of flight because they have eaten birds and absorbed their anatomy and learned to fly to hang out with Ranette and Sophi Tarcsel and create all kinds of wonderful things?
