Squeak (Bird Team)
Correlation to theme
With this track, I decided to give the rat a more negative characterization as opposed to a positive one.
To me, his appearance leaves room open for both negative and positive connotations.
I didn't make him a student in my lore, perse, but I did have him self-identify as a "student of science."
The track was mostly designed to portray his inflated ego.
Lore:
"This track was created for a music jam. It is a character theme.
Squeak, also known as Squeaka, is a teacher and a self-proclaimed student of science. He is not short on ego, is rather rude, and carries himself with a boastful, persnickety attitude.
Squeak supplies the party with gadgets, offers side quests, and even joins them at a few points in the adventure. Despite his uncouthfulness, he does prove to be sufficiently reliable.
He's also probably a murderer."
Some facts about Squeak:
He's an obnoxious little twat who thinks highly of himself.
He calls people that he dislikes nerds, because refer to that above.
He loves cheese. So much so that, under the right circumstances, he would commit homicide over cheese.
He carries around a stick. He uses this to beat nerds. (Those that he hates.)
He possibly killed someone once, although this person was cool, so they're probably a cool ghost now.
I kept with my commitment to composing in an F scale. This time in F Octatonic (W-H).

Last words
In The Legend of Zelda: The Windwaker, the zora canonically evolved into the rito. This means that even if the fish win, the birds still win, in the end.

Thanks!
The challenge actually made the track a little easier than usual because the mixing/mastering phase wasn't as stressful as it usually is, haha. Most of my songs have a lot of layering going on and a lot of sounds, and during the mixing/mastering phasing, things can get muddled and I have to be careful, and it can be annoying haha. Sometimes, I have to restart.
Most tracks of mine have roughly 20-30 different audio channels.
And, yeah . . . I've really gotten into dabbling in tempo automation, haha.

Yup! But, there isn't an explanation given
There is a popular fan-theory that it was a forced evolution orchestrated by the goddesses in order to hide the secret hidden under the great sea, which is a theory that I personally ascribe to, haha.
