Easter Egg: Queen of Cliff Racers

Feel free to make it happen!

This would be worth it if slaying it and its eggs reduced cliff racer activity by 50%

"It would be a shame not to use dragon mechanics in Skywind"

Umm, what did you think they used as base for cliffracer?

 

Don't take that away from Jiub..

It better be a scene that you stumble upon, seeing a finishing animation on it, by Jiub of course. 
But if so it is too much work for one encounter.

I think there should also be water racers as well . There needs to be a better underground environment. Even an aerial tree area as well. The lair could be in some humongous tree canopies

> queen of Cliffracers
= not sure that Cliffies can be social, but this can justify their suicidal behaviour.

> water racers
= this can be good idea.
= Anyway it will be realistic only after normal_ones will be completed, and only if animators will accept this additional work.

I don't know if this conversation is too old for reproach, but I kind of had a similar idea to op. I've been following ya'lls development efforts on youtube and this site for the past couple days, along with playing through Skyrim itself (I haven't quite taken a look at the current Skywind build yet.) But as I was playing Skyrim, noticing the abundance of wild life, such as rabbits, goats, elks, etc. I got to thinking about what Skywind would use primarily for wild life. Eventually I remembered the inordinate abundance of Cliffracers that were so awfully annoying (and terrifying, I mean honestly, when you were just walking along and all of a sudden.. CAW!! AH WHAT THE CRAP?!) 
Anyways, I like the op's idea about a larger Queen or elite breed of CliffRacers, but to tie into my Skyrim wild-life idea, I feel like Skyrim really needed a hunters guild. For instance, instead of it being an "official" guild, certain holds or towns would hand out quests for killing off, say, if you did this in Skywind, Cliffracers. Having met the goal, the quest giver would reward you with a quiver of arrows of a certain quality (like ebony, or something not easily obtainable, maybe even unique) and it would reduce the spawn rate of the cliffracers in that/surrounding cell. And then say there is an end-quest type thing where you hook up with Jiub and help him take down the "Queen" cliffracer. Ya know, for the accuracy of lore sake. Maybe even give players a permanent vuff effect for finishing it. And like the op said, you could make it an easter egg of sorts, something not easily triggered, or something that rewarded players exploration. 

Also, I'd love to help any way possible. I'm absolute rubbish with art and modeling, but I am somewhat familiar with a few languages. (mostly java, gwt, android, etc. probably nothing useful, but I'm open to simple cut-and-paste/copy type things to relieve some of your more code intensive developers)
