Description

The Bishop is one of the many Demi-god tier beasts of the isles, being one of the few descendants of long extinct family trees of animals, much like the Reaper and Deacon. This particular archosaur is one of the last few hadrosaurs, being a member of a family of dinosaurs known as 'hawk billed dinosaurs', which are derived from lambeosaurine dinosaurs such as Parasaurolophus and Olorotitan. How such dinosaurs got on the isles is a mystery, though many theorise that they crossed a land bridge or simply swam. Never the less, they still made quite an impact, diversifying in this new world until the KT Extinction, where their diversification was cut short, leaving only the ancestors of the Hawk-bills to fill the role. Soon, they were mostly replaced by derived insects, mammals and non-archosaurian reptiles, until only two members made it to the present day: The Bishop, and the Archdeacon. Bishops themselves are... Unique, to say the least. Like the infamous Psychotherium, the Bishop has a powerful psychic attack, which activates when they use their crests, causing the shutdown of their prey's flight or flight instincts, enabling them to eat in peace. They themselves are as smart as a Homo habilis, having no actual imagination and rudimentary abstract thinking. Like the Deacons, they serve the K'hzaal blood cult, being pack mules for their possessions, also functioning as weapons for when the cult has to conquer and convert other K'hzaal tribes. All in all, these members are one of the more interesting members of The Isles, much like all life there.
