Description

An axe beak is a tall flightless bird with strong legs and a heavy, wedge-shaped beak. It has a nasty disposition and tends to attack any unfamiliar creature that wanders too close. These versatile creature's have adapted to survive in many locales. For instance, those which hail from the Northern realms have adapted heavy feather coats. Others in dry or desert climes bear thin bristles, allowing them to keep cool and remain unburdened by desert sand.
