Bahija is one of several countries that fields an aerial cavalry (others being Griffon's Aerie, Elvendeep, Arangoth, Pentland and Zul Kiras.) Bahijan mounts are giant breeds of hummingbirds that evolved to feed from some of the enormous flowering trees in the Bahijan jungle. These mounts are capable of vertical takeoff and can be trained to charge, inflicting serious damage with their lance-like beaks. They are fed a diet of water infused with nectar or sugarcane. Originally the giant hummingbird was half its current size. Years of dedication and careful breeding grew the bird and granted it the ability to carry both a rider, the gear necessary for it, and small loads.
Description
The giant hummingbird closely resembles its smaller cousins in terms of body shape. There are some changes to make it more robust and able to carry smaller members of the Bahijan cavalry over the distances required. Heavier musculature attaching the wings, carrying around to the breast, a less delicate beak, and legs with stronger bones and longer talons.
