The Edged Auricture

Daemonic and abhorrent to the Priests of the Pinion, the earthbound raptor, the Edged Auricture prowls the wooded lowlands.

The Edged Auricture hunts alone, stalking quickly by pulling it long body with its strong featherless forearms. Upon attacking it’s prey the raptor will either lance it’s head forward, it’s three pronged bottom beak plunging deep into flesh, or if the undergrowth allows, will swing it’s massive bone sharp phalanges in a lethal horizontal slash.

Hating all flightless birds the Pinion Priests vehemently scorn this beast as a sinful aberration more than any other, but they do so out of fear more than any dogmatic contempt.
