One of the most mysterious twilight birds. It could be one of those fascinating medieval creatures or even a dragon, but this is a real bird. Although I have never seen it in real life, once I woke up at night in a tent and heard an electric sharp sound overhead. Some birds are a little weird but I love them all regardless.
