Aiba

Aibas are small, blind, fluffy bipedal creatures from Draith home planet Elnar evolved from flightless bat/chicken-like ancestors.

Biology and Evolution
Once thought to be quadrupedal, it's ancient ancestors used these arms in ancient forests to climb trees, but it's small forearms were lost and hidden beneath its woolly coat when it began to hunt on the ground and the forests disappear, replaced by grassland, instead relying on its long legs for speed and use their nose and hearing to detect the world around them. The shape of this bat-like nose actually came about for rooting and blowing dirt away from areas to find small bugs, but do also eat grass.

They seemed to devolve the use of their eyes during this transition, but the reasons for this are unknown for sure, eventually their eyes became all but gone their ears migrated into what was once their eye sockets. They have long, crooked necks that are generally folded close to their bodies and the larger and darker males display red wattles upon the crook of their necks.

Domestication
Aibas have been domesticated and are used in much the same way chickens are on Earth, as food sources, as well as their wool that the Draith spin into cloth using primitive looms.

There are several species of aiba, the common most being the white kiam or "cloud" aiba, most of them domesticated and covered in soft, white wool on their bodies and heads.

Aiba give birth to live young in hutches, in the wild they live in burrows or the bottom of cliff faces and hills. There is at least two known wild aiba species that are bigger and more aggressive than their domesticated cousins.
