Synth Soarers are small, nocturnal flying mammals native to the vibrant, resonant expanse of the Musical Wilds. From each of their ears extends a unique, hair-like fiber that arches gracefully over their heads and vibrates in intricate, synthwave-like patterns. These fibers serve as their primary tools for sound creation, producing a vast range of tones that serve various purposes. High-pitched notes are used for communication among their kind, while deep, resonant tones are their defense against predators, creating an intimidating wall of sound.
Synth Soarers spend their days nestled in caves, forming vast colonies called bands. When they sleep, they interlock their long, flexible tails for added security, creating intricate, interwoven patterns reminiscent of musical staves. At dusk, the bands awaken and take to the skies, filling the night air with their harmonious chatter, which some describe as a living symphony.
Their dual, circular wings resemble delicate drumheads, allowing them to amplify and manipulate sound waves. By generating powerful sonic booms, they propel themselves with bursts of speed, darting through the air in sudden, sound-fueled sprints. Their tails act as rudders, granting them remarkable agility, while also serving as tactile tools to connect with others in flight.
Synth Soarers are expert insect hunters, using their sonic abilities to disorient prey mid-air before striking with precision. Watching a band of Soarers glide and weave through the night is like witnessing a living melody in motion—a mesmerizing blend of sound and flight that showcases their unique adaptation to the musical world they call home.
This CR1/4 creature is called a Synth Soarer and is a Beast that lives mostly within the Musical Wilds.
