I heard that the D'ni were actually large flightless birds who lived on sunlight and moss.

I believe this rumour.

Therefore it is fact.

That's correct! The D'ni were one known as "poppycocks," but by popular vote they changed their collective name to "D'ni."
The poppycocks lived on sunlight and moss.

Next you'll be telling us the Bahro got their name by lending out sugar to their Poppycock neighbors.

So... the D'ni were the same as the Urwins! Shocked

That explains why the Bahro were killing Urwins, it makes all sense now! Laughing

I seriously doubt that the Poppycocks lived on both sunlight and moss, as the systems necessary to process these two radically different metabolic systems would so burden the life-form that it wouldn't be able to do anything but vacillate between sunbeams and damp shady places. The result would be a Cavern Fence-Sitter, which ecological niche the DRC have already taken. Hence, this theory is poppycock. QED. Smile
