Description: Insomniums are large scavenger birds that often hunt in pairs, stalking their prey through the desert. Similar to camels, Insomniums have bodies that are capable of efficiently storing fat and water, letting them go prolonged periods without needing to eat or drink. During the day, Insomniums fly through the desert searching for prey that's either already dead or close to death. If they find prey that's still alive, the Insomnium will stalk the area, occasionally trying to scare their prey and divert them away from nearby water sources. When night falls, Insomniums will constantly harass their prey throughout the night by poking them with their sharp beaks or letting out loud annoying cries to stop their prey from getting any sleep. Because they hunt in pairs, they're able to take turns resting and harassing their prey to ensure that the prey gets no moment of rest. This cruel strategy can continue for days until the prey is too weak to stop the pair of Insomniums from tearing them apart. Due to their similarities as scavenger birds, it seems that Insomniums have developed a strong hatred for Desert Graphin. Because of this, pairs of Insomniums can sometimes be seen endlessly harassing a flock of Desert Graphin.
