The Littoral Cillibilli split from its ancestor. It's scavenging time comprises primarily of things found on the beach, such as dead Gilltail or dead Bloisters. Sometimes larger bodies wash ashore and large clusters of the scavengers will descend upon it. The majority of their time is spent scurrying around on the upper Beach picking apart the beach wrack for decaying morsels, or flitting about among the rocks during low tide to hunt the tiny Bloisters trying to hide.
Their wings are no longer meant for soaring, as they don't need to scour far for food, and rather specialize in quickly escaping predators and maneuvering in the air. Breeding and nesting are done away from the beach in spring. Parents take turns bringing food from the beach to their chicks once they're hatched. They grow quickly and are capable of flight three weeks after hatching, at which point their parents bring them to the beach so they may learn to find food.
During the breeding season the males will grow long iridescent feathers from their ears. These feathers shimmer in the blue hues and ultraviolet to draw attention from potential mates. Females and males outside of breeding season look the same, minus the blue coloration and long ear feathers.
