Cloudbreakers

Cloudbreakers are massive, flightless birds with incredibly long tongues, known for piercing through clouds.

Characteristics
Cloudbreakers stand approximately fifty feet in height on average. Their necks are incredibly long and unusually thick, and their wings are wide and held broadly to the sides at almost all times. Their most prominent physical trait is their long tongue, which is folded in on itself many times inside the neck and chest. Fully extended, as is used for their eponymous task, the tongue can extend out up to two thousand feet outwards, often completely vertically. The tongue cannot remain vertical for more than a moment - it erupts with a great burst of speed before falling back down. If it is launched vertically, the bird has some level of control, and can lash it side to side like a half-mile whip.
