Simorgh
|
|
The Simorgh is a large avian beast – even larger than Phoenixes or Firebirds and typically between 18 and 20 feet tall. Their wingspan is usually a little less than twice their height, giving them a fairly impressive size. The Simorgh's beak is elongated with a slight hook at the end, and it is used to dig in and thresh away slivers of flesh in which to then swallow whole. The Simorgh possesses great talons that, due to its size, can pick up humans wholesale or Orcs by their appendages and swing them to try and jerk away their arms or legs from their joint sockets. What is most peculiar of the Simorgh is its feathers and down. The bird is typically associated with majesty or benevolence for the full color spectrum displayed upon its feathers. Indigo, scarlet, cerulean, and goldenrod feathers have been picked up from nesting sights of this illustrious creature. The sun's reflection often give it a rainbow coloured luster, especially from either being seen from a distance or having coming out from a water-dive for fish.
These creatures are found worldwide, though prefer temperate plains and forests.
