 A '''loftwing''' is an uncommon [[:Category:Companions|companion]] which appears as a large, round-billed bird, with white feathers on its underside and brightly-colored plumes on its backside.  The size of an adult loftwing is comparable to particularly large draft [[horse]]s, though younger and smaller variants can be more comparable to ponies.  A typical loftwing is nearly as intelligent as a [[Race:Hylian|Hylian]] child, but normally cannot speak.
-Certain skilled [[Race:Hylian|Hylian]]s are able to tame strong loftwings into flying, obedient mounts.  This treasure normally represents such a loftwing, which has been trained to be rode by its owner.  Most loftwings are able to rode by most races which are neither larger nor heavier than Hylians themselves.  As such, most [[Darknut]]s, [[Goron]]s, and [[Lynel]]s, cannot ride one effectively.  Meanwhile, a typical [[Picori]] or [[Race:Tiny Fairy|Tiny Fairy]]is too small to control a loftwing on its own.  With an appropriate rider, however, a loftwing is able to fly for periods lasting up to a few hours.

 If a rider has bonded well with his loftwing, he is able to sense the general direction and status of his loftwing by using the [[Sense]] ability, if he possesses it.

+Unlike a normal Loftwing Companion, an Unusual Compaion has its own [[PWC]] score, gains its own treasures, can act on its own, and can even be an effective combatant in its own right.  It becomes able to speak if it gains a [[treasure]] such as [[Language of Fauna]] or a [[Jabber Nut]].  Needless to say, these exceptional loftwings are particularly rare in [[Hyrule]].

 ==As an Unusual Character==
-A loftwing can be made into an unusual character.  Such a character begins with 60 rupees less than normal.  A loftwing character may begin with any one [[Racial Perk]] appropriate to its species, even if the chosen perk would normally occupy more than one "perk slot."  A loftwing's starting PWC is either 2/1/1 or 1/1/2, and it has 1 less point than normal with which to increase its starting PWC score.
+A loftwing can be initially created as an [[Race:Unusual Character|Unusual Character]] for 60 rupees.  Alternatively, a loftwing that was first acquired as a treasure can become an Unusual Character for free.  In either case, the player must be of at least [[Regular]] rank to have an Unusual Character.  The loftwing must be submitted as its own character, following the usual character creation process.
-In Hyrule, it's common for loftwings to have intelligence comparable to Hylians.  As such, many loftwings may be capable of conscious thought, and are able to think and reason just like more intelligent races do.  Such a loftwing may be able to communicate with other animals, but cannot fluently communicate with language-speaking races without a treasure like [[Language of Fauna]].
+Unlike a normal loftwing, an Unusual Character has its own [[PWC]] score, gains its own treasures, can act on its own, and can even be an effective combatant in its own right.  It becomes able to speak if it gains a [[treasure]] such as [[Language of Fauna]] or a [[Jabber Nut]].  Needless to say, these exceptional loftwings are particularly rare in [[Hyrule]].
-As a loftwing lacks hands and is unable to speak, it may be incapable of gaining or using certain [[:Category:Treasures|treasures]], even if it possesses conscious thought.
+A loftwing that functions as an Unusual Character may freely gain [[Winged Flight]] as an innate [[racial perk]].  In addition, it may gain [[Shuttle Loop]] as a racial perk.
