The Vükry is a species of wasteland scavenger that devours any dead or injured beings it can find. Metal wings allow for flight and make excellent weapons in combat. They also help to break down its food, working like steak knives to slice up the bodies.
It’s digestive process expels lots of excess heat energy. This is evident in its fiery feathers, tail and claws.
I actually think the brown works really well. The darker colour adds depth and draws attention to the limbs. It it were tan / trans orange it’d look kinda flat IMO.
