Mudlark
Tiny beast, unaligned
Mudlarks work the low-tide flats in chattering flocks, probing for worms between the drowned fence-posts. Harbour children train the boldest ones to carry folded notes knotted in oilcloth from one jetty to the next.

Traits
Tidewise. The mudlark knows the state of the local tide by instinct and will not fly a message it cannot finish before the water turns.
Message Knot. The mudlark can carry one folded note weighing 1 ounce or less. It remembers a single destination jetty and flies there by the most direct safe route.
Actions
Deliver. The mudlark lands beside the named recipient, if living and within 1 mile, and holds out its message leg until the note is taken.
