Corvinock

  Corvinocks are large, wolf sized birds. They are very similar in appearance to crows, sporting the same head shape, broad beaks, feet, gray skin, and black iridescent feathers. However, they are obviously much larger for starters. And the feathers near their neck, head, and wing tips are an iridescent purple, with a small crest indent in the beak, and a crown of feathers atop their head. 
   Corvinocks are social animals. They share a level of intelligence on par with cetaceans such as dolphins, and even seem to have some very basic primitive language. They are omnivores, but lean more towards meat. They usual live in groups of three or four in woodlands, forests, jungles, and mountain ranges. They use their skill of sound mimicry to attract prey, before going for the attack. They’ve even been known to use such tactics on humans and other sentient races. 
   In battle, a Corvinocks will act similar to a wyvern, in that it will try to stay airborne at all costs. If forced to come onto the ground, they’ll try to stick to targets that are separated from their party. If a Corvinock or group of them believe a battle to be out of hand, they will retreat to live another day.
