Origin: Uncharted Continent (inferred)
The Jadenraptor is a colossal high-altitude raptor from the Uncharted Continent, wingspans exceeding 100 meters and limb musculature adapted for vertical soar and controlled descent, one of Geba's largest aerial species yet non-aggressive, avoiding human contact entirely and abandoning nests if disturbed, vanishing beyond all trace when pursued. Its feathers emit brilliant green reflectance under stellar light, blinding pilots and contributing to mid-air accidents, while high intelligence allows reasoning rather than conventional training, responding to tone, intent, and ritual in rare bonds with Yuvaari tamers who ride them in festival hunts or crossings without breeding or caging, most vanishing after a season. They are believed to live up to 1,200 years. Their eggs have occasionally been discovered in eastern Inland Thazvaar and Yuvaar. Most fail to hatch, but the rare survivors take immediate flight toward the Uncharted, unassisted. Unlike the aggressive Violetraptor, the Jadenraptor's aversion to humans remains unexplained, its flight patterns and nesting habits poorly understood due to observation avoidance, with relay anomalies and scout logs its only records, believed ancestral to the Violetraptor, and protected by unspoken migratory route laws among navigators.
