Mountain Joords live in the mountains on the western side of the continent. Their coloration serves to both blend them in with the dark stone, as well as to better absorb heat from the sun. Mutations lead to some of them hatching with an extra pair of arms. The trait ended up overall beneficial and spread throughout the gene-pool. Over time, they formed into a pair of wings which provide limited flight.
The Mountain Joords prey on small animals, and hunt by jumping onto their prey from high ledges. These jumps give much needed force for the weak Joords but is also very dangerous, as even a small mistake could cause grievous injury. They control their fall by flapping their large wings.
These daring jumps also work as a gauge for the females to see who is suitable mate. A more controlled descent is desirable by the female.
