Do Avians have teeth?

    I'm generally very curious about this. I know birds don't have teeth but they're not technically birds, are they? The main reason I think they might is because it seems they can speak English. Some English letters require teeth to pronounce so... what's the verdict? (I looked for anything about this online but found nothing. Guess I'm the first for this one :eek:)

    What if they have their own language that accounts for their biology, and everything you see in the game is translated because Babel fish?

    Birds used to have teeth, right? Could be alternate evolutionary paths that might have included them having teeth. Plus they're alien, so it doesn't seem likely they have a common ancestry with birds on Earth--just a vague resemblance. Don't know anything myself either way.

    Was pretty sure the speech was running through some kind of universal translator though, so everyone 'speaks' English while speaking their own language. heh Could be wrong.

    P.S
    Parrots can speak most English words.
    No one said Avians spoke English, or any races for that matter. When some one speaks to you in a language not of your mother tongue. You tend to translate what they said to your base own mother tongue [ unless you are extremely fluent ]

    No. They do not. I see no reason why they should have any.

    They don't. All the avian comments for crops mention "to peck at" rather than "to eat". Furthermore, everything is translated - one of the lines when trying to speak to Agarans, as well as examining some Hylotl furniture imply that the player is carrying a universal translator.

    Don't believe they do, seeing as their language has to be translated. Everyone has already said this, though. :oops:

    Aren't there animations that clearly show them having teeth? Like they do the grin and there is a white line implying teeth.

    Can you send any of them? I don't think I've seen any of them.

    What about Santa? Do they have Santa? Or is it some sort of Kluex thing?

    I'd imagine that, since they interact with the humans a lot, they probably would celebrate human holidays. At least the grounded would.
