Bluebeak Ganet

The bluebeak ganet is a bird that thrives in the cold mountain region of the Azalei Mountains, most notably near frozen water sources, such as lakes and streams. It was released in-game with the 2019 Winter Fun Pack.

Appearance

Bluebeak ganets have special feathers that insulate them from the cold, allowing them to navigate both frigid winds and icy waters. Their feet almost seem immune to the freezing temperatures of snow and ice.

They’re extremely proud creatures and love to prance about, showing off their head and tail feathers. Their moods are capricious, and they can be territorial about food. They never back down from a skirmish, even with creatures much bigger than them.

Ecology

The beak and claws of the bluebeak ganet are rumored to be as hard as crystals. These allow the creature to break through ice and chunks of hard snow.

They’re adept runners as well as divers, chasing prey on land or surviving for short periods underwater to fish for food.
