It has a great example as to how else this could be used.In the society, the head angel has to pick a human female as a consort (the 'angels' were genetically engineered,  and crossbreeding was a big no no). At one time in the past, one such angel ticked off his consort, who had a retreat built with large spikes all over the grounds and building. Her hubby couldn't land anywhere without scewering his wings, so he had to humble himself by walking the mile or so into the land to get to the front door.My point (long winded though it may be): the spikes could be used in roughly the same manner, depending on how densely packed they are. In could prevent sky borne parasites from landing. Imagine the hay day vultures or similars critters would have with such a creature otherwise. Can't run away, can't defend itself. A vulture's stomach is strong enough to kill near plague level diseases, so it isn't a stretch that they may be immune or gain bonuses against any poisons the puffer blimp/spike-ship might have. Even with this, there are plenty of magic based creatures that would be immune. Magically created or not, it's a threat air sailors have to worry about (a sick/dying ship = a slow/inefficient ship).PS: They change colors you say? Well, sailors pass messages via flags of various types. Imagine if you could train the buggers to change into particular patterns on command!</blockquote>
