Seven-Throated Warblers

From The Fifth City Wiki

"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]

A Hillmover.

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]
