::The Legend of
The 1337 ORLY! ::
In the beginning the orly! bird was thought to be just a harmless annoyance of the forest and growing fashion trend among gaian youth. It wasn't until after the untimely death of Gino Gambino at the Gain 13th anniversary ball that everyone realized the horrifying truth.
While Gino was dancing wearing his then incredibly rare ORLY! as a hat he stepped on one of the birds dangling silver wings. At that moment the Orly! bird cried out and sank it razor sharp talons (hidden under it's feathers) deep into the skull of the heir to the gambino fortune, killing him instantly. But the bird did not stop there, it then took to swallowing the head of it's former master while keeping the body still attached by encircling it's talons around the mans neck and flew off into the woods with the face of his deceased master seen in shocked terror eyes bleeding through the birds eeriely blue tranlusent stomach.
Over the next few weeks there was a massive manhunt for the remains of Gaias most beloved son. There were scattered reports of sightings and that the bird was slowly devouring all of the former individuals bodily organs for substanance leaving nothing but skeletal remains. It soon became apparent that the bird may have some relation with the infamous grunnies of early Gaian legend.
Even more terrifying than the thought of the ORLY! becoming carnivorious monster were the reports that the bird was getting bigger. That feathers were replacing flesh on the human body. Witnesses reported a "second pair of wings" where the arms had been and that they were moving twice as fast as a regular ORLY!.
Since that fateful day, hundreds of reports have come into the light about ORLY! related fatalities and mutation. There was such an outcry againist the normally docile bird they were almost driven to the point of extinction.
Now on the endangered species list the ORLY! bird and the now designated evolution 1337 ORLY! are under strict regulation by the Gaian World Council. For their own protection as well as the protection of the public.
