Rukh

This large bird boasts golden wings, razor-sharp talons, a cruel beak, and a long tail of feathers. When it unfolds its great wings in an act of intimidation, even the most battle-hardened warrior cannot help but feel a thrill of terror. Its talons are unusually strong and it can carry prey as large as itself back to its nest. This ability has led to old wives' tales of children being carried away by rukhs, but in reality these birds far prefer carrion to live prey.
