Ancestor:Descendants:

The moaning shish kabob phlyer replaced its ancestor, the singing phlyer. The singing phlyer had continued being the hunter of its relatives. They then became blue to blend in with the sky. The undersides of their solar panel wings have done this too, but the top of their bodies and wings are completely green. Their hind limbs have become stronger and wider to become flaps to help carry the creature's weight. Also, their front limbs have developed claws for multiple uses. To help keep themselves propelled in the air, they breath in long, powerful breathes, which makes a low moaning sound. They take a longer time to inhale then they do to exhale and this is so that they glide more then flap their wings.

They live their entire lives almost completely in the air. They soar through the skies at high altitudes in search of phlyers to pry upon. Once they find their target, they collapse their wings, dive and harpoon there pry. With their pray still on their hook, they raise their arms and stab their pray with their claws and use their razor-sharp tongue to cut off pieces of flesh to feed themselves will in the air. They often carry several kills on their hook at the same time.

The only time that they are not in the air is during mating season. While still in the air, the males will sing long arias with deep sounds to attract a female. When singing, the males will try to fly as far as possible, so that as many females as possible can hear it. When they finally find a female, they fly down to the ground to mate. Once done mating, they are back in the air straight away. When the newborn is too large to fit in the mothers pouch, the father will carry the the newborn in his arms. After many months of being carried by the father, the father will decide that it's time for the newborn to fly on its own and releases the newborn in hope that it will start to glide. After that, the father will leave the mother to raise the young until it reaches near adulthood.
