C3/DS SKYSWIMMERS of Grendel Man

The original skyswimmers were a C2 breed that used the sprites of the standard grendel and MerNorn, and flew with Don's "Give Me Flight" COB. 

This version for C3/DS follow the same concept - they look like aquatic creatures, but instead of swimming, they fly through the air, making use of their arms (and Wopsy's Flyagent.cos/Dusty Aqua Flying Agent) to push themselves along. They won't be able to fly until adolescence, when they cast off their legs and take to the air. Behaviorially, they are quite social and like to fly around in large groups. While lone skyswimmers are more or less likely to let your norns be, in groups they tend to get angry when norns are near.

In terms of diet, they are fond of critters and will spend a lot of their time chasing after birds, although it's still nessecary for them to eat other foodstuffs such as seeds in order to be completely covered nutrition-wise. 

In appearance, males and females are easy to tell apart. Males have the heads and tails of Maraquan grendels (Grendel W) and the bodies of the standard C3 Grendel (Grendel A). Females have the head and arms of Jungle Grendels, but in the rest of their bodies they use Aquanorn sprites (Ettin K). Both genders have the legs of aquanorns, meaning they lose their legs when adolescent. There are also 4 color variants of skyswimmers, randomly selected when you lay a Skyswimmer egg with the Norn Egg Layer or Muco.

BALLOON PIGEON - Classifiers 2 15 18709, 2 18 18709, 2 10 18710, 2 23 18709

Balloon pigeons are fat, slow moving birds that stay afloat due to lighter than air gases inside their bodies. Left to their own devices, they'll wander around, laying eggs when their population gets low. Oftentimes, however, they will get eaten by hungry skyswimmers or other creatures. You can adjust their minimum population with the Balloon Pigeon creator.

FLOWER FRUIT - Classifiers 2 8 18709, 2 10 18709

Flower fruits are just that - flowers that grow on the same tree the apples do in C3, or above the Empathic Vendor in DS. They do not fall off the tree, thus remaining out of reach of all but flying creatures. When they get too old, they wither and then fall to the ground.

Installation: Put the .agents file in your "My Agents" folder, and you should be able to hatch Skyswimmers with the Norn Egg Layer (C3) or Muco (DS), and create the Balloon Pigeons and Flower Fruits with the Creator (C3) or the Agent Injector (DS).
