Winged Screamer

A massive Raven. The reason for it’s mutation is unknown. Perhaps exposure to mana, or simple adjustment to the wildlife within Anthos. Much like all ravens, the creature is a Near Black, Dark Blue. It’s Beak and Talons a jet black. The creatures typically stand at 10 feet with a wing span exceeding 12 feet.

The creatures Talons could easily render a bit of low quality Iron useless, though the creature prefers to simply scoop it’s prey before allowing it to plunge to the grounds below. The Beak of the Bird is capable of crack platemail, though only with repeated efforts. The Giant Raven emits a loud scream than can easily be heard for miles around, often said to echo throughout the lands, earning it the nickname, “Winged Screamer.”

The Creature typically feeds on cattle or lone adventurers, preferring to make short work of it’s meals. When it’s nest is approached, the Raven goes into an enraged frenzy, attempting to knock it’s attack from the mountain, if not with it’s talons, the winds produced by the flap of it’s massive wings.

This creature is nomadic, typically living atop mountains for a mating cycle before moving on.
