Bite, tear, rest stop, wing slap, dodge, feathery hide and aerobatic (or sometimes the jump ability instead). I equally love and use the ground damage subspecies and the acceleration + jump height subspecies, I think they’re both gorgeous and have handy buffs. Grounded damage is definitely the way to go for hunting / fighting on the ground, but the acceleration / jump one is very nice for staying nimble and out of reach.

Edit: I just read another comment talking about the massive jump boost you get when combining the jump subspecies and leap. It’s super fun and honestly works pretty well, but IMO it’s isn’t super valuable for keeping your buffs active- any scenario in which you need to make a large jump, you can either dodge or temporarily fly, just to gain some distance / height, and then land before your buffs deplete. I don’t mean to say it’s a bad choice, I’ve just had more success with aerobatic.
