Tirkin

Tirkins are an enemy species in Xenoblade Chronicles, Future Connected, Xenoblade Chronicles 2, Torna ~ The Golden Country, and Xenoblade Chronicles 3. They are small humanoid avian-like creatures with wing decoration on their backs and often live in tribes. They resemble and possibly related to the Chilkins and Gulkins. Young Tirkins are referred as "Tirklets".

Xenoblade Chronicles
Tirkins are found exclusively on the Bionis' Leg. In Future Connected, they inhabit the Bionis' Shoulder.

Xenoblade Chronicles 2
Tirkin received a slight redesign; they now have claws with their wings moved to their elbows which are now smaller. Unlike in Xenoblade Chronicles, some Tirkin are integrated in Alrest's society, such as a group of cooks called the Fire Dragons entirely composed of Tirkin, or they can be hired as henchmen as seen when used them as bodyguards at the Old Factory. However, many Tirkin live away from humans and Nopon, choosing to steal from or abduct them as seen with the tribes near Torigoth. Tirkin are found primarily in Gormott, Leftheria, Tantal and the Kingdom of Torna.

Xenoblade Chronicles 3
Tirkins are a minor faction on Aionios. Their main habitat is in Maktha Wildwood and their king is The Tirking. They have an ongoing alliance with Colony Tau. Some Tirkins can be twice as big than s as seen with the Jumbo Tirkin. The Tirkins' appearance are the same as in Xenoblade Chronicles 2. They are sometimes seen clashing with Ignas, and even other Tirkin tribes during skirmishes. Tirkins are found primarily at Rae-Bel Tableland, and High Maktha Wildwood.
