Description

A cassowary is a tall flightless bird with strong legs and a long, sharp talon extending from each foot like a primitive dagger. Its immense speed and strength allow it to kick through mundane armor and shielding. It is very territorial and tends to attack any unfamiliar creature that wanders too close.
