Description and lore
An ore-eating cave bird carries light through its luminous feathers. A heavy meal can leave it earthbound among the mineral traces it follows.
Luminous feathers brush the cave's darkness. The bird picks among ore fragments with absorbed attention.
After feeding, its steps grow more deliberate beneath the mineral meal's weight. The glow remains close to the ground.
