  • Terror Bird

    There are many terror birds; these particular ones are about three meters tall, flightless birds with vicious beaks and sharp claws on their feet.  They are pack hunters who grip their prey with their beaks and attempt to dash them to the ground to be cut up by their claws.  While flightless, they are fast-moving, and they can launch themselves away from trouble with a nasty kick.
