About porgs
Porgs were a species of non-sentient birds. They were stocky in nature, with two short wings, flat, beak-less faces, and two webbed feet. Porgs were sexually dimorphic; males were slightly larger than females, and males also had orange plumage around the eyes. Porgs of both sexes were covered in dense feathers, with white coloration on the body and face, and gray to brown on the wings and back. The birds had stereoscopic vision, colored with brown irises and black pupils. Inspired by Star Wars: Episode VIII – The Last Jedi.
