Description
Despite their intimidating appearance, bone raptors are quite peaceful creatures, at least other living beings. Although bone raptors are primarily scavengers feasting on corpses, they do possess an instinctual desire to undead as their primary source of food. Their body has adapted to hunt their undying prey causing them to be immune to poison and necrotic energies. Their innate resistances, bone crushing jaws, and their ability to track under make them ideal mounts used by many holy orders to seek out and exterminate the undead. Many necromantic cults also train these creatures as guardians of temples by keeping a generous supply of undead to feed them.
