The darter is a water bird living in the tropical parts of [[Ibune]]. Its name comes from the way the creature propels itself when diving on its preys. The darter is characterised by its long sinuous neck that stays above water when the bird is swimming, and which looks like it is ready to strike at any moment. It hunts by spearing fishes, amphibians, reptiles and small [[Skahns]], using its sharp beak. The darter is a large bird, measuring approximately 1.50m in length (excluding its beak), with a wingspan ranging as much as 2.10m. The male darter is glossy black-blue, including its wings and the base of its wings, with a trail of blue feathers highlighting the side and bottom part of its neck. The top of its head has extremely short blue feathers, and the upper back of the body and wings are spotted or streaked with orange. The female darter is similar to the male except for its pale orange or reddish head, neck and upper chest. Its back is paler than the male's. The most characterizing features of the darter are its kinked neck, as well as its long orange beak that can be as long as 50cm. They often nest on top of the canopy, using their sharp vision to stalk their prey in the shallow waters of the river, or in the surrounding vegetation. They have rarely been seen preying on humans, even though there have been records of injuries and attacks from some wild darters in more secluded areas of the jungle, suggesting that the specimens observed near populated areas might have become accustomed to the human presence.
