Origin
Nesting right on the ground made motionless camouflage more important than active defense.
Appearance
A very low, broad brown-gray nightjar with a huge flat head, amber eyes, a separate wide cream lower jaw, thick wings and large bark-like chevron spots.
Signature ability
Twilight Swoop
Leaps at the enemy with the lowest HP: 85 damage and Staggered for 1.5 s. A pair of Duskjars evolves into Sulfurwing.
Passive trait
Cryptic Stillness
If Duskjar ends its turn motionless on a natural surface, it gains Stealth without a separate Maneuver.

Evolution
Line E-21: Bird of the Cave Dusk
Duskjar → Sulfurwing
Condition: nesting permanently deep inside volcanic caves.
Cryptic vision is no longer its main advantage. The species develops click-based echolocation, tolerance to sulfurous air and shorter wings for maneuvering close to the walls.
