Cassowarry

The cassowary is a terrifying monsterous bird native to the forests of the Deathlands. They are said to be one of the main reasons the demons of the Deathlands blighted interior have not taken over the forests. Cassowarys are large flightless creatures with stringy black feathers and sagging blue skin. On top of their malicous little head, they have a large kerition helmet used for display. While these creatures certainly are scary and have are a menace to young Aussie Gnomes who need to go to the forest to reach maturity, the cassowaries are in fact very important to the forest. Without them, the forest would eventually run out of trees because, when a cassowary eats fruits, it doesn't digest the seeds. These seeds are transported and fertilized by the cassowarys scat, so it is important that cassowaries thrive, lest the demons take over the last refuge of the Deathlands former glory.
