Inktober 20 -orekroark 20-

Entry 20.  The Toxic Two Toe orekroark are a very unique population effectively stranded on a solitary island near the sister continent.  Their home is contaminated with a kind of mineral that causes genetic destruction in many of the living things that inhabit it.  Over time through each generation these rapid mutations changed a little bit more about them; fewer feathers, the deconstruction of flight feathers, smaller, more arm-like wings, and the trademark fusion of fingers and toes.  However, these mutations also ravage the health of each new generation, and the population is becoming smaller and smaller.  Two toes are aware of what is happening to them.  They have not found a way to leave, and have simply adopted some rules to control how severe each generations illnesses are.  Those that are too ill, or have managed to form excessive mutations, such as extra limbs, cancers or lack of limbs, obvious internal problems are severe psychological impairments are not allowed to mate and are usually swiftly sterilized (if they are not already).
Two toes are otherwise simple.  They utilize simple tools, and hunt and gather small prey and resources available to them, without having to combat any large predators.  They are not a kind people, as they have adopted a stern disposition.  The only thing they know about any other species, or other places is what has been shared to them through old skewed stories from their ancestors.
