| Description | Zai Muchengeti appear to be guineafowl folk, anthropomorphic birds. Unlike avians, they are not human-like with feather mantles, but actual anthropomorphic birds.

They wear very colorful clothing. |

| Culture | Zan Muchengeti live in small flocks of about 30 or 40 people. They are nomadic, wandering the rainbow forests, helping others, and gathering seeds to eat. They tend to center their territories on bodies of fresh water. Every flock is led by a small group of elders, but the group as a whole votes on important decisions. They raise their children together, teaching them to follow the energies, what seeds to eat, and how to know if water is safe to drink. Their lives seem very simple, as they mostly focus on keeping moving and eating, but this is deceptive. They have many complex rituals, all of them to do with celebrating good things that have happened. When bad things happen, they make speeches declaring how they will solve the problems and move on. |
