Indoor Succulent Pot - Hawk's Tide-beaked Mimicker - Tonitribus Mimica - Grumplings

Hawk's Tide-beaked Mimicker, or Tonitribus Mimica, is an incredibly rare species, and a member of the genus Rostrum Patera. The Mimicker was discovered by the natural philosopher Agnes Hawk during an expedition along the perilous coast of the Chariot Sea. She recalls in her notes hearing "a strange sound, as of distant thunder, but somehow smaller," which she followed, eventually leading her to the Mimicker, nesting in the crook of a high rock. She hypothesized this behavior was meant as a threat to potential predators. Hawk described the Mimicker as "fierce and magnificent" in her journal, noting that it seemed "extremely protective" of the small, coastal plant growing inside it. Hawk's encounter was one of the very few recorded sightings of the elusive Mimicker. She later stated that she gave the species its name due to the storm cloud colors of its beak, and its remarkable ability to mimic sounds.

Rostrum Patera is a genus of Grumpling, members of which often resemble birds of varying species. These critters can be easily identified by their pointed beaks - though they range widely in appearance otherwise.

This stormy little individual has a cranial aperture of just over 2 inches. It's iridescent plumage and inky, black eyes make it a striking sight! It has a satin finish and drainage holes.
