Jetdarter

These small, iridescent flyers are the cleanup crews of Darwin IV, scavenging carrion across the planet's surface. Powered by a biological version of a "ramjet engine," these dart-like creatures can reach speeds up to 40 mph. Jetdarters travel in schools, constantly changing colors in relation to the direction of light.
