Homebrew Cakara Species Details

It was a horrifying sight. They were torn apart, ripped to shreds. And the smell, my gods the smell. In all my years sailing the seas of the world never have I come across such vicious killers. Crafted into the perfect hunters. Strong, swift, and intelligent. These creatures, cakara as they are called, deserve all the reference they have been given. They should be feared and respected. I hope for nothing more for my remaining years than to never cross paths with one again.

-Captain S. Jansen

Bred for perfection. Masters of the sea. Cakara are not the mindless killing machines most assume they are, rather they are intelligent creatures with great minds for battle.

 

They lurk in the deepest parts of the water, hunting the enormous creatures who reside there. Depending on how many make claim to an area, cakara are capable of completely destroying an area's ecosystem with the voracity and efficiency with which they hunt.
