CharacteristicsEdit
Robo-robins are robotic birds with heavy iron bodies. Their round bodies are dark grey with silver edging, green metallic feathers on their heads, wings, and tails, and silver articulated feet. Like all of the other mechanical avians, they are capable of retracting their parts into their bodies. The metallic components of the robo-robins gives them a high degree of protection against various spells and status effects. They can shoot out feathers from their wings like razor-sharp flechettes. When the birds have been sufficiently damaged, they have a tendency to self-destruct at will to damage its enemies.
