"It lives wild now, but it was bred to give testimony in the courts. Concerned with evidence, motives, and explanations, whether accurate or not. Sometimes one throat contradicts another."[1]
Seven-Throated Warblers are avian beings that possess seven heads and seven strikingly-red throats. These creatures roam the wilds of Parabola, but they were originally bred to provide testimonies in court.[1]
Warblers reside in their Terraced Nests in Parabola, which are enormous trees with seven trunks and large canopies,[2] and they possess beaks that are hard as steel, making them powerful fighters should they feel threatened.[3] Their nests are also littered with many documents of ancient trial proceedings,[4] and they seem to enjoy reading such legal documents for entertainment.[5] Unlike many Parabolan creatures, Seven-Throated Warblers are also capable of crossing the mirror with no known ill effects.[6]
Seven-Throated Warblers are capable of speaking human languages, and each head has a unique personality and temperament.[1] Because of its unique speech patterns, the Warbler's song is also known for being quite unnerving.[7] However, the Warbler's utterances aren't always completely sincere, and they may make unsubstantiated comments or expound flattery.[8] This insincerity can cause a severe buildup of venom in the Warbler's throats,[9] and they spit up this venom in the form of powerful egg-shaped explosives called Hillmovers.[10]
