[366 Days of Monsters] Day 070/366 - Ewoska
🕑 Added 2020-03-10 17:26:55 +0000 UTCSailing through the skies of The Summer Land and parts of Central Omeria are the red-eyed ewoskas, large, intelligent falcon-like birds whose shrill shriek can shrink creatures down to transportable (and edible) sizes.
Ewoskas are leftovers from the Transmuter Wars of the Hand of the Two. The great birds were tasked to fly over battlefields and pick off Karnionian mages. Once the Transmuters were driven from Omeria, the ewoskas retreated into the wilderness surrounding the Basilisk's Spine Mountains.
The ewoskas frequently clash with the griffon riders of Kuhzuk and Anorian vaqueros of the Vaskil Valley. Out of sheer wickedness, the ewoskas enjoy stealing livestock and even the occasional farmer from the region, a point of contention among the humanoids that occupy the valley.
Many ewoskas have built their nests in the remains of the old dragon dens abandoned after the War of the Burning Plains. There, the ewoskas protect their eggs from those who'd hope to eradicate the evil beasts. In addition to the hoards leftover by the Great Chromatics, ewoskas build collections of pilfered trinkets, gems, jewels, and magic items pulled from their own prey.

Love this! I was recently looking for a low CR bird that did something cool.
