Biology

Gliscor observes prey while hanging upside down from branches, and when the chance comes, it swoops. Its flight is soundless, and when catching prey, its long tail picks them up and its elongated fangs do the rest. If it surprises prey, it can land a critical hit in an instant.

After it drains them of their blood, it takes on a look of satisfaction. If it succeeds in catching even the slightest breeze, it can circle the globe without flapping its wings once.
