Etymology
The name is derived from the Latin horridus (meaning shaggy) and refers to the raised scale-tufts or crests on the dorsal part of the wings.

gollark: Maintaining current standards of living, and also not having everyone die due to lack of food, needs roughly current technology. Maintaining current technology requires large-scale coordination. Thus, problems.
gollark: The blurb is more descriptive.
gollark: We do *need* large-scale things. I feel like that's quite important.

Food rapidly disappears from the store shelves, not to be replaced. Only three percent will survive. Those three percent will have much in common. What does it take to be one of them?
