Ibanoth is an [[Air]] and [[Light]]-type [[Creo]] and one of the two adults a [[Basiby]] chick can grow into. A chick raised in bright, sheltered country takes on light and matures as Ibanoth.

Ibanoth is a common sight in wealthy households, kept for the deep violet of its head and neck. Wild birds are stranger company: left to themselves they gather around universities, archives and libraries, and nobody has established why.

== Biology ==
Ibanoth stands 2 meters on long gray legs and weighs 70 kilograms. The head and neck are a rich violet topped by a short yellow crest, the body is soft gray, and the bill is long, fine and slightly downcurved. Only one head remains of the pair a Basiby carries, the other having been reabsorbed as the bird matured.

The color comes from structure rather than pigment. Fine layering in the neck feathers scatters light, so the violet shifts toward blue in overcast conditions and deepens almost to black at dusk, and a bird kept indoors under poor light fades within a season. Owners who prize the color go to some trouble over window placement, which is the practical reason Ibanoth is a difficult pet rather than an easy one.

The bill is used for probing soft ground and for picking small prey out of crevices, and it is precise enough that a wild Ibanoth can lift a single insect from between the pages of a book left open on a windowsill. That habit, and their preference for the quiet, well-lit halls that libraries tend to provide, is the closest thing to an explanation anyone has offered for where they choose to flock.
