Raukor™

     The Raukor is twice the mass of a domestic Ostrix, and
     more common in Drakoria than Kasuria.  It is virtually
     unknown in Olde World, where they may haunt misty
     eastern jungles.  In Drakoria, a bad-tempered lady
     may be called "that old Raukor" behind her back.

     
     
     

     Highly intelligent, Raukors can mimic sounds they have
     just heard with great accuracy.  They are voracious
     and clever pack hunters.  Where there is one, there
     is usually a dozen or two more.  They attack with
     an unceasing chorus of cawing shrieks that makes
     even yelled speech impossible.

   
   
   

     They are most deadly because the whole pack will
     attack a single victim unceasingly, then move on
     to the next foe.  Their thick hide is very tough,
     and can even resist crossbow bolts, thus their
     skin is prized for making feathery shields.

     The long plumes on its back are not its tail, but
     a tuft that can be raised, lowered, or made to
     quiver.  Drakorian chieftains and chieftainesses
     sometimes wear cloaks woven from Raukor throat
     plumes.

     Wyrmme nobles hunt Raukors with long spears, and make
     their back-plumes into fans on long handles.
