A Blood Omen is a large, winged creature that is rarely ever seen. In the dark, the only thing that can be seen is its sinister, red eyes that seem to illuminate the dark slightly. But because of this trait, people just shrug it off as an owl. There is no "official" name for this creature, but it has been nicknamed the "Blood Omen" because of what course of events seem to follow its strange sightings... The disasters.

Very little, to nothing is known for why this creature even exists. Even less is known for how it knows what is going to happen in the future.

Creation/Origin

The Blood Omen, a very sinister creature, a creature that is said to bring death and destruction. A winged beast that foretells disaster. An Omen of Blood & Death... One of the more popular strings of the legend, was the sighting in Kingston. One of the citizens reported seeing an "odd creature" perched on the top of the walls near the gatehouse late at night. The creature just sat there, motionless, seeming to just be staring straight into the quiet, sleeping city. The red, glowing eyes just... staying there... staring. The witness, a gardener, tried telling the guard about what she saw the very next morning, but he just retorted with "You just saw an owl, go get some rest...". A few days later, Kingston was raided by the Orcs, and turned into what was Gronkston.

Behavior

The legend that follows the Blood Omen is what gives it its name. The Blood Omen, which basically means a fore-teller of disaster and destruction. The only time it is ever spotted, is before some sort of large-scale disaster. Days before a genocide, a large arson, an assassination, or a war outbreak, it'll just be sitting there, watching the area. If somebody gets too close, it'll just turn and fly of at an amazing speed, never to be seen until the next disaster.

This creature lives in usually heavily forested, and/or slightly hilly terrain. The hilly terrain is perfect for being able to fly around, and spot out any potential prey. Although the population of this creature is unknown, and for all anybody knows there is only one. Very little is known about its eating patterns, or how long it can go without food. But it tends to tear up its prey, and leave a lot behind. The Blood Omen feasts on many species, from things as little as rabbits, to something as big as a strong, fully grown buck.

Types

A large, "owl-like" winged creature. It has feathers all around its body, just like any bird. The Blood Omen has legs like a human, but talons like an owl. In almost every single sighting, it is seen perched on top of something, much like a gargoyle would. Probably its most distinct feature though, is the red eyes.
