Line 37:

By extending the length of the outer hoof-toe and growing wing feathers directly from it, it was able to function as a flexible wingtip, forming elliptical wing proportions. As the toes maintain a mostly homologous relationship, growing a longer and thinner outer wingtip-toe has also resulted in a longer and thinner inner toe to walk on. While it will still run on its hooves, it will increasingly rely on a plantigrade pose in rest or when perching. With the main curve of the wing provided by the wingtip toe, the cannon bone extended further out while the tibia and femur shrunk, reducing the wing area under the knee but in turn allowing thick thigh muscles to stretch between the tibia and the femur, resulting in a slider-rocker linkage mechanism, creating a stout mascular limb portion out of the bicept fimoris that enable powerful and rapid hopping and launching.

The combination of sensitive hearing, elliptical wings attached to muscular slider-rocker mechanism results in extreme maneuverability, with a leg optimized for hopping on the ground, a wing optimized for short bursts of tightly controlled flight and a muscular thigh at its base able to quickly catapult it in a new direction, it is able to quickly take off the ground and disappear between the branches. No less important is their iridescent coloration, with structural colors that appear darker from the underside or in night time but will ~~look~~ shades of purple and indigo in light, they are able to appear black on the obsidian colored tree but purple when foraging between the bushes for food or nest construction material.
