The Common Loon is like a large, awkward penguin that decided to take a vacation on a lake instead of the ocean. It has a big, pointy beak perfect for snagging fish, but it mostly just uses it to make weird, haunting noises that sound like it's calling for a lost pair of socks. Its black-and-white "pajamas" make it look very stylish, but it's mostly just a really serious bird that prefers swimming like it's in a marathon rather than flying. When it does manage to take off, it looks more like a big, flapping bird-shaped bowling ball trying to gain altitude. Overall, it's a water-loving creature that enjoys solitude and making everyone wonder what on earth it's doing with those loud calls at dawn.
