| Sapphire | SKARMORY’s steel wings become tattered and bashed in from repeated battles. Once a year, the battered wings grow back completely, restoring the cutting edges to their pristine state. |

| Sun | Its feathers, which fall off as it grows, are thin and sharp. In times long past, warriors used them as swords. |
