Description

The crayghe is a specific breed of hawk bred by the elves for its intelligence and loyalty. It especially bonds well with elves, but it may bond with any humanoid.

Crayghes are claustrophobic and can be quite tempermental, escaping into the wilds if they are ill-treated. They favor urban areas, however, and can get along quite well there. Given their rarity, true feral crayghes are uncommon.

Crayghes fight like other hawks, with deep raking dives, but they tend to aim for the eyes and the face much like a raven.

The crayghe's feathers are usually hazel on their backs and heads, and have white chest and under-tail feathers.

Lair and Lair Actions

They don't have a specific lair; they just live wherever their trainer lives (as long as they're outdoors).
