Blood hawks are gray birds related to other raptors such as falcons and eagles. They are unusually strong for their size, however, and their beaks and claws are razor sharp.
These fierce birds of prey get their name for their propensity to attack humans--often to the exclusion of all others.
Male blood hawks are attracted to bright, shiny objects, and will raid the bodies of their prey for gemstones. They line their nests with these gems, in hopes of attracting a female.
Combat
Blood hawks attack en masse, swooping out of the air swiftly and silently. They slash at their prey with claws and beaks, preferring humans over any other potential prey.
Skills: Blood hawks receive a +8 racial bonus to Spot checks in daylight. |
