Aknosom chicks develop their flame sacs relatively quickly compared to other monster species. Because of this, nesting aknosom will engage in a practice known as “air raking” using their powerful wings to clear flammable detritus away from the nest.

Hatchlings have a voracious appetite for dense roots and chips of wood. This diet, combined with peptides in their parents saliva, will kick-start the process of fermenting the complex hydrocarbons needed for their fire breath.

Historically, hatchling aknosom down was used as an insulator for its fire retardant properties. This has fallen out of practice, as it also causes lung cancer in humans.

Their fire breath is not actually “true fire breath.” Where other creatures project a pressurized stream or cloud of a flammable liquid, aknosom use their powerful sinus muscles to spit wads of highly flammable mucus and digested material. These flammable owl pellet structures can be extremely sticky, or rubbery and bouncy, depending on the creatures diet.

This flame defense is part of the function behind their beautiful head sails. While useful for shading their body and dispersing heat, the sail is actually a highly modified ear structure, which contains several powerful muscles that assist spitting.

This is akin all those hot takes about the 2k bug being an hoax:

“Remember when they told us every computer was going to crash on 1/1/01 and there would be chaos and then nothing happened?”

Yeah, I remember. And I’m sure every programmer and sysadmin that contributed the billion person/hour global effort to prevent it also remembers.

No one talks about acid rain anymore, either. And that’s a very good thing.

see also START and START II, which significantly reduced nuclear stockpiles

International cooperation is actually so effective that most people don’t even notice it happening, and then erroneously believe it can’t solve anything.

Fixing issues before they develop into actual disasters is such an underappreciated thing it hurts at all levels.

We don’t talk about acid rain because there isn’t any more acid rain because when acid rain started happening and we learned that the cause was mainly sulphur oxide and carbon monooxide from car exhausts, countries all over the world made it a law that car companies had to produce cars that produced less exhaust with better effectivenes (burning the fuel all the way to CO2 instead of the halfassed CO) and oil rafineries to remove the sulphur from the gasoline in the first place.

We don’t talk about computers crashing because of the turn of the century, because thousands of programmers worked very hard to write updates and patches for Every Single Program humanity as a whole used back in 1999 and then somehow managed to failtest, distribute, and update every single device and system, be it an online or offline one before the midnight of the 1st january of 2000.

On a much smaller scale, no one ever commenta or notices cleaners and housekeepers doing their job - be it at home or at whole buildings - because they always make sure that there’s nothing to notice. But don’t be fooled - at any point of your life you are one week of them not doing away from swimming in trash and filth with nothing to eat and nothing clean to wear. Only then you would notice.

Now it’s time to do that thing again and make sure that we don’t kill our whole planetary ecosystem within the next century.

Some people say the Legend of Zelda series has too many different ancient sky-dwelling precursor civilisations. I say those people are cowards. The next Zelda game should feature the ruins of an ancient sky-dwelling precursor civilisation whose statues and murals all inexplicably look exactly like Tingle.
