Re: Fictional creatures and their wonky anatomy

Winged humanoids. Wings large enough to let your average human fly would require massive flight muscles, and where do they fit the joints for those wings!? You can't just stick a pair of wings on the back of someone and expect them to be functional without first remodeling their entire torso.

To be honest the latter always bugs me when I see a creature with an extra pair of limbs but no obvious changes to the anatomy to incorporate an extra set of joints!

Also any mythical/magical creature which has a super low population count. How do they remain viable as a reproductive population? Especially if they are confined to a small area.

Wings bug me a bit, too, because I wonder if both the arm and the wing articulate with the scapula (a second glenoid cavity?), or is there another bone in there for the wing to attach to, maybe in closer to the spine and sort of layered over the normal scapula?

But where do the flight muscles attach? Birds have special bones in their chest too in order to have somewhere for the massive muscles needed for flight. I mean, maybe it does explain why angels have big boobs all the time, it isn't fatty breast tissue like in humans but breast muscle for flight like in pigeons.
