A bit of a coincidence actually. ^^; I briefly mentioned Axebeaks in the description for Knifelets. They, along with Swordbeaks were in my head during the time of their creation. So, you can say you gave an early prediction here. xD
I just say this and all i have to say is: wow, fucking wow. I tried to come up with another way to describe it but I drew a blank. I hope to see little sharp-beaked knifelets running around everywhere!
I wish you'd been around for the monster contest! These guys would have given poptops a real run for their money. Don't get me wrong, Poptops are great too
Arrowbeaks! Their beak is shaped in an arrow! <---(O.) .......................................................(...) .......................................................I...I
Amazing work, man! Swordbeaks seem like they could really be added, other than the lack of sprites. Like what others have said, they're like the Chocobos of Starbound. Also I think that there should be variations of the sword/axebeaks depending on their environment. Say, thicker beaks for tougher and larger prey, thinner beaks for catching smaller prey. Also more species altogether, but ones that would look good in beak form (halberd, maybe. long ax-like beak with a defensive spike on top curving downward instead of both ways...).
Dragonith! I believe these people want more variations of Swordbeaks. As does the rest of the Starbound community. EDIT: Also, there should be penguin-like species of the Swordbeaks. Maybe Harpoonbeaks like blind sniper suggested?
This design is well thought-out, has a great design, and best of all, is unique. I love this idea, and it is definitely worthy of being put into the game.
