Netherbirds are big, black birds that serve evil gods as messengers. These scavengers stink of blood and foulness, as they will eat even dead flesh. Their feathers always appear dusty, and their talons are monstrously large. They live together in flocks in desolate crags or high, rolling moors. They can be easily trained as messengers or carrier birds by evil beings, but not at all by good ones. They originally come from Avernus, the first of the Nine Hells.
COMBAT
Netherbirds prefer not to fight anything larger than Small size. They scream and hiss to frighten off larger prey, attacking with talons and beak when all else fails.
The netherbird first appeared in FRE1 Shadowdale (Ed Greenwood, 1989).

did i do that right? i wasn't so sure if it quite qualified as an outsider, but then i thought of how things were set up in the fiend folio and went with that instead.
