Description
The Dragon Bird is a mysterious bird found in forests and mountain regions. It typically has feathers that are coloured and patterned to blend in to its natural habitat. It has long barred wings, a barred tail and long ear-tufts which are often recumbent. It has a white throat band but has no white on its wings or on its tail. It can range from 12 to 16 inches in length and its weight can vary from 130 to 150 g. It typically hides its nests on the ground amidst rocks, leaves and sticks. They are nocturnal, being active at night, and typically hunt small rodents and similar small animals.
The origin of the Dragon Bird is unclear. Although seeming like an ordinary bird it somehow possesses a hint of draconic magic. It is unknown if this magic is natural or a result of experimentation.
