Boyukdas is a bird of enormous proportions that has not been found outside the Western Wastes for many centuries now. How many of these great fowl are left on the continent in their shrinking habitat few can say, but their size and reputation are legendary. Boyukdas mate for life, and lay eggs very rarely. If it weren’t for their multi-century lifespans they would likely have gone extinct thousands of years ago.
Mythology

Though at first adversarial they were quickly swayed by Aysu that his intentions were nothing but in line with their own purpose. To protect and further the will of the Fikcan. Aysu states that the Boyukdas were the firstborn of the Fikcan and names them after this fact. To date the Semari have a revere the Boyukdas of the Wester Wastes and their rare appearance is one of the greatest honors a tribe can be graced with.
