Óraxtap: Akrag

North-Krekkúxic: Aggark
West-Krekkúxic: Akkarag
Nartasic: Háhakax
Akrag birds1 are small, flightless, fleet-footed avians commonly found throughout the Sjorg Desert and western Múlíat Mountains in southern and southwestern Dragonía, respectively.
They are an important prey to a number of animals in the region, as they rely solely on running away to avoid predators, and are a common wild game for the different peoples there as well. The Krekkúxes in the Sjorg Desert in particular venerate akrag birds as a symbol of fertility.

Basic Information
Genetics and Reproduction
In the desert, akrag birds usually make their nests in holes by a riverbank or lake's edge, dug using their powerful feet, while in more rugged regions they find shelter within crevices or beneath boulders, where each pair takes turns guarding a dozen or so eggs until they hatch. Akrag chicks are able to fend for themselves as soon as they're able to walk, so the parents don't stick around for long.
Dietary Needs and Habits
Akrag birds feed on whatever seeds, shoots and whatever invertebrates they can find, and derive all the water they need from them.
