==Lore==
The tritail (\ ˈtrī-tāl \) is a humming-bird size {{5e24lc|Fey}} bird. It appears as a tiny yellow swift with a tri-forked tail. It is often found in small groups of about a half-dozen, but can sometimes be found in a {{srd5lc|Swarm}} of several dozen (especially in mating season).

Their main diet is insects and seeds, keeping their ''magic missile'' ability for protection. However, they will sometimes hunt giant insects or small animals that might prove a threat to their territory.
