The '''kalyuga''' is a flying species native to [[Vertan]]. Kalyugas are shrew-like creatures borne aloft upon wings akin to those of a bat, with nut-brown fur shot through with thin, black stripes. The creature's face, topped by two beady, black eyes, terminates in a rounded snout. Its teeth are composed chiefly of curved fangs, suggesting a carnivorous diet. Typical kalyugas are known to grow to about the size of an eagle. | The '''kalyuga''' is a flying species native to [[Vertan]].

Behaviourally, the species is known for unprovoked aggression; shrill, high-pitched screaming is not uncommon, though its primary means of attack on larger beings seems to be that of an aerial battering motion. The kalyuga is noticeable as the only [[Vertani]] animal species to not have been adapted for domesticated use in the village of [[Tir Murann]]. Whether this is due to its aggression or some other underlying factor remains unknown. | Behaviourally, the species is known for unprovoked aggression; shrill, high-pitched screaming is not uncommon, though its primary means of attack on larger beings seems to be that of an aerial battering motion.
