Name: Aviary
Story appearances: Antrodus Series
Size: 20 square miles
Description: Formerly a first class zoo’s main attraction, the fantastic array of birds were tainted by the mutagenic properties of LockJaw’s blood after scavenging birds fed on portions of the giant after a particularly brutal fight. The smaller scavengers entered the aviary, infected the resident population of birds, and stayed. LockJaw’s blood made the birds grow, the largest being about 25 meters tall. The blood either broke down some of their natural aggression towards each other or made their social instincts stronger. Either way, the entire aviary is united as one large, multi-species flock, with everything from toucans to ospreys, crows to macaws. They stuck around the zoo though, devouring all of the other inhabitants. They are very intelligent, especially the crows and parrots, and will favor one side over another, especially if there’s something birdy looking on that side. The area itself is littered with the debris of the cages and fences, with some small rides left.
Hazards and Notable Landmarks: The area itself is pretty plain, moderate hilly terrain, a couple tanks for the aquatic exhibits, and debris from the former attractions and rides. Portions of the area are coated in bird shit, making the area, as with the Komara nesting grounds, comically slippery. The birds themselves can’t really harm most kaiju (though they usually go for the eyes), but they can easily put a stop to a fight by flapping, cawing, and pecking all over the place. Many of them will drop rocks, debris, and shit randomly on the fighters for shits and giggles. Most of the birds are about ten meters tall, but the larger parrots and raptors can reach 25 meters, with the largest member of the flock being a female Harpy Eagle. The birds, for the most part, hang back abit in the sky, and mostly fly in to screw around with the fight and shift the tide. They’re assholes like that. They've also retained their attraction to shiny objects, and will peck at mechs out of curiosity, and sometimes even try to carry it off for whatever birds do with shiny objects.
