Description
Carakillers are large, predatory, flightless birds that stalk their prey through the grasslands. These beasts hunt in packs and execute strategic maneuvers like wolves to hunt.
Tactical Hunters. Carakilers may be fast, but they don't simply chase their prey down in a straight line. When a group of prey is spotted, some carakillers will flank around the other side to create an ambush. Then the main group will chase the quarry into their doom. Under this system, most of the group will escape, but one or two prey animals will inevitably be caught in the middle of multiple carakillers and swiftly dispatched.
Feather-Speak. To coordinate this complex pattern of hunting, carakillers are equipped with colorful crests of feathers on their heads. These feathers can be flared out in patterns to signal to other carakillers in a silent language of the hunt.
In addition to the feathers on their heads, carakillers make use of the feathers on their wings in order to balance when running at a full sprint or pouncing on their prey.
Scavengers of Fire. Wildfires are commmon in the grassland in which carakillers live. Packs of carakillers make use of this to chase down and entrap any potential prey that escapes the oncoming wall of flame. Whenever a wildfire strikes, carakillers can be seen stalking through the smoke in search of new victims. Other pack members walk behind the advancing wall of fire, picking at the charred remains of any monkeys too slow to escape the blaze.
