Ornitheria

Ornitheria (meaning bird-beasts) contains all ornitheres. Apart from their immediate visual differences, they are distinguished from other saucebacks by their fluttering and sometimes flight abilities, and by their eyesight which involves the use of mirrors to focus an image on a retina at the front of the eye.

Argusraptor Complex is an example of Ornitheria.

Superorder - Lumenoculaformes

(Non-biats)

Order - Lumenocula

Argantua is an example of Lumenocula.

(basal forms)

Family - Lumenoculidae

The most basal lumenoculans, which more or less just resemble harnessbacks with fans of flight feathers upon their legs.

Genus - Ornitherium

• Brighteyes (Ornitherium micoculum)
• Vibrant Manestrider (Ornitherium audatorquem)

Genus - Irigallus

• Flare Manestrider (Irigallus pavonicollum)

Family - Argusraptoridae

Raptor-like monodactyl runners. Most of them are large predators.

Genus - Argusraptor

• Ambrosiaraptor (Argusraptor mella)
• Argusraptor Complex (Argusraptor complicatus)

Genus - Gigargus

• Argantua (Gigargus rugosus)

Subclass - Sceloptera

Wallace Quails is an example of Sceloptera.

Sceloptera, commonly known as biats, are the especially bird-like flight-capable subgroup of ornitheria. Many species in this subclass are barely recognizable as saucebacks to the untrained eye.

Order - Caudoptera

Quail Raptor is an example of Caudoptera.

The caudopterans are the most basal biats, which usually retain a long tail, cloven hooves, and other basal characteristics.

Family - Ungulopteridae

The most basal biats of them all. They have long tails and live mostly on the ground, but can leap into the air to fly away from predators.

Genus - Arthropterornitherium

• Interbiat (Arthropterornitherium primus)

Family - Cortuniraptoridae

Cortuniraptors, or quail raptors, have tiny, spine-like teeth and considerably more eyes than other species, as well as a pair of "spurs" on the base of the tail.

Genus - Cortuniraptor

• Quail Raptor (Cortuniraptor nychocauda)

Genus - Wallacecortuniraptor

• Wallace Quails (Wallacecortuniraptor spp.)

Family - Perampluscoturnidae (placeholder)

Genus - Perampluscoturnix

• Canard (Perampluscoturnix alvum)
• Martyk Mega Quail (Perampluscoturnix martykensis)

Order - Falcothera

Littoral Cillibilli is an example of Falcothera.

Falcotheres, or ophreys, are monodactyl and have short tails, slotted wings, unidirectional lungs, and strong hooked jaws. The tail is airplane-like, consisting of a pair of feather fans on either side of a vertical crest-like structure derived from the tail spike.

Family - Falcotheridae

Genus - Falcotherium

• Ascendophrey (Falcotherium ferocior)
• Sausophrey (Falcotherium ferox)

Genus - Cadaveroraptor

• Littoral Cillibilli (Cadaveroraptor microlittori)
• Vultoph (Cadaveroraptor longidigitus)

Genus - Wallytherium

• Wallyhawk (Wallytherium ungualis)

Genus - Procellatherium

• Albedophrey (Procellatherium marirex)

Genus - Lamarckaquila

• Lamarckophrey (Lamarckaquila rufus)

Genus - Hippogryphus

• Hippogryph (Hippogryphus megapteryx)

Order - Atopoptera

Songsauce Piper is an example of Atopoptera.
