Rito

The Rito are the peaceful bird-like creatures of Dragon Roost island, the mountaintop of Death Mountain in the Great Sea. They have evolved from the zoras when Hyrule was flooded, possibly to adapt to their lifestyle that causes them to be surrounded with water. The fledglings grow wings from the great sky spirit named Valoo, a dragon at the top of the mountain. Not only have these beautiful creatures adapted to their lifestyle of flight, but they also serve as the mailmen for their mobility and fast-paced travel.This is the most important part of their lifestyle: if they can't deliver the mail, who will? The Rito chief is the leader of the Ritos, and he tries to figure out how to solve the dillemas that creep in every direction every so often. His son, Prince Komali, was of age to earn his wings during their greatest dilemma, and his self-esteem had sunk to an all-time low because of his recently deceased grandmother. She was Valoo's attendant, and in Komali's eyes, the only one to help the sky spirit through this problem. Komali now had no desire to do anything, and didn't trust anyone, and didn't believe he could get Valoo's scale. There was also a Rito, a girl named Medli, who played an important role. She was Komali's grandmother's apprentice, so she had to help with everything concerning the dragon. She also serves as the Earth Sage when the previous sage's life is taken. The rito's role in Link's adventure is one of the most important, and they are quite interesting. Despite being related to zoras, they're nothing alike. Rito's have beaks, wings, feathers, and claws. Zoras, however, have fins, scales, and flippers. All of these show an amazing evelutionary development, and it makes the Rito among the most amazing creatures in the game.
