. They are characterized as having small bodies, large black beady eyes, and an array of 8 different colored plumages. Their diet consists mainly of nuts and seeds, although they are omnivores and have been known to consume small rodents, crustaceans, and fish when they have access to them. They are rather agressive, and are known for their sharp talons and beaks. Alone, one Tukui doesn't pose much danger, but if provoked enough, they have been known to swarm (almost like a colony of angry bees) unfortunate victims like flying piranha.
There have been claims over the centuries of mystical powers being granted by a Tukui bird that one has a close connection to. There are also some that believe the Tukui may have originated from the legendary
. Since Tukui birds are generally unfriendly and agressive, and the Fountain isn't something that someone can just go study, none of these claims are backed by any scientific proof. It is worth noting that

You can always start a fire as long as you have materials, and can cause minor, almost magical, efffects in flames (change colors, flare, dim, etc). |
Once per week, you can wreathe yourself in magical flames, calling on the true elemental force of fire. You gain the elemental subtype for the duration, and gain the effects of the Investiture of Flames spell (Xanathar's guide to everything) for up to 1 hour. Entering this state costs no Aether, and does not require components or concentration. The user is extremely cold and hungry upon the fire going out.

Flaming Sphere - 3 Charges
Scorching Ray - 3 Charges
Fireball - 4 Charges
Wall of Fire - 5 Charges

Fire Storm - 8 Charges
Meteor Swarm - 12 Charges
If you expend all 12 Fire charges, Investiture of Flames will end after the final charge is spent, even if the full hour duration has not yet passed.

Until you dismiss the effect, or 10 minutes passes, the target can not move, even if it is defying gravity. The target can hold up to 8,000 lbs of weight. More weight causes the effect to end. A creature can use an action to make a DC 30 strength check, moving the fixed object up to 10 feet on a success. You can affix up to two objects/creatures in place at any one time, and may dismiss the effect as a free action. If you affix a third object, the first one loses this effect. To touch an unwilling creature you must make a touch attack with proficiency using Str or Dex, whichever is higher.

The strain of this ability is so intense that if you try to Bending again before 7 days have passed, immediately after the affects end 10 minutes after you start Bending), you immediately gain 5 levels of exhaustion. |

As the spell dictates, you control these Zombies for 24 hours, after which you either need to reassert control or they will become free. To reassert control, you can use this ability again (before the 7 days have passed), but immediately gain 1 level of exhaustion, and the next long rest or Greater Restoration cast on you will not reduce your exhaustion level. These are mutually exclusive (for example, having Greater Restoration cast on you twice, or taking two long rests will reduce your exhaustion level by 1, but a single Greater Restoration plus a single long rest combined will not lower your exhaustion)
