World's fastest animal is...

[Question]

That's not an "animal."

It's a "Colossal Magical Beast" with a speed of 20. What ARE you talking about??

Its very fast when it wants to eat you.

Did you know human reflexes are faster than a snakes?

That's why snake monks learn Human Style Kung-fu.

Cosmopolitan Sailfish - 68 mph

Though, for sustained long distance speed. - Blue Whale - 30 mph

To be fair, you'd have to split this up into three categories: land, sea and air.

For D&D (SRD only):

Land: Light Horse, Light Warhorse - 60' (Cheetahs can Sprint at 500' when charging)
Sea: Porpoise and Giant Squid - Swim 80'
Air: Eagle - Fly 80' (Of course they can dive, but so can any flying creature, pretty much)

There you have it.

Did you know human reflexes are faster than a snakes? True (as far as I know), though that does NOT mean you can wait for them to strike and then avoid the hit.

True, but it does mean you can slap them on the forehead, repeatedly, and they won't be able to strike back in time. I have seen this demonstrated.

This works on younger brothers as well.

Which, of course, makes our buddy, the peregrine falcon, look more shafted than the 3.0 ranger. If anything, a peregrine falcon should have hawk stats but with the sprint ability of a cheetah when performing a diving charge.

Since Peregrine Falcon is not on the list, what's stopping you from running that way? Or has WotC published them somewhere?

The Light Horse?

Of course a light horse is fast, it's made of light. It goes 299,792,458 meters per second.

That's a D&D speed of 5,892,480,000 ft.
