Because ancient civs were shitty places where no one knew the true power of friendship. So most ancient evils couldn't be beaten by them.

Starts out as an idealistic protagonist in Season 3, starts to compromise his values a bit in the finale in order to get ahead, completely betrays his own stated goals in order to score more political points at the end of Season 4, becomes a part of the system he was originally trying to change by Season 5

It would be stranger if the protagonists didn't retreat from an ancient evil they don't have the ability to fight.
And even then, there's plenty of RPGs where they attempt to kill the ancient evil at first and then get wrecked, albeit without dying

Dungeon Crawl has the tengu as a playable race
Sword of the Stars has bird dragons as a playable alien faction that travels through space in flocks; the bigger the flock the faster they warp
Endless Space has a bird samurai faction; endless legend has a bird minor faction
Alien Soldier has one as a main character
Starbound has Avians although the game is shit
Secrets of Raetikon and Chasing Aurora both have birdperson characters
Shining Force has avian people characters
You can mod Overgrowth to have a karate crow character
There's probably a bunch more I'm missing

CoH, Shining Force, Champions Online, Golden Axe 3, Alien Soldier, Modded Morrowind and Starbound are kind of like your only choice if you want to play them.

To be fair, the difference between us and a petrel is that we can make the conscious decision not to murder other animals, and have the ability to get our nutrition entirely from plants and nutrition supplements.
Not that I'm a vegetarian myself, I'm too much of an asshole to stop eating meat, but the reason they get mad is that we have the ability to not murder on a massive scale and choose to continue doing so.

You can argue semantics all day, but that doesn't change the fact that killing all of those animals is a largely unnecessary process due to modern science and the ability to regulate our nutrition intake with artificial supplements and careful diets.

Yea, but that doesn't taste as good as a nice chicken breast. There's benefits to eating meat that you don't get from other sources.
Humans evolved to be omnivores. Ignoring any section of diet is dumb.

Even if the small benefit you get from food tasting good is even near equivalent to the fucking abysmal condition of the average factory farm, which it isn't, in my opinion; you can still cook up mean meals without any meat in them.
>Humans evolved to be omnivores. Ignoring any section of diet is dumb.
By that logic, since we evolved to be endurance runners, using vehicles instead of exercising is dumb.
Again, you'd be hard pressed to live a healthy life as a vegetarian a hundred years ago, but we've progressed far in nutritional science, and eating meat is largely unnecessary now.

Sure you can. But I'm not a wood-elf, I'm a human. I need nutrition from meat.
That doesn't mean I have to get it from a farm where the chickens are shoved in a cage and fed until their legs break and then get their throats cut by a buzzsaw. But it does mean I need to kill a chicken.
>By that logic, since we evolved to be endurance runners, using vehicles instead of exercising is dumb.
Who uses vehicles for exercising? Vehicles are for transport and are much faster than using legs.
