Hackwing

"Hackwings. Like everything else in this damnable place, they'll eat you if you don't keep moving."

- Chaero Gemullus

Hackwings were a species of giant birds that were native to the Imperial province of Black Marsh. They possessed long, saw-like beaks that were almost the length of the rest of their bodies. Their favored method of hunting was attacking an unsuspecting prey, and then leaving, only returning once its prey had experienced significant blood loss and was either dead or near death. They often circled overhead their prey before striking.
