Hackwing

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

―Chaero Gemullus

Hackwings are a species of giant birds that are native to the Imperial province of Black Marsh. They possess long, saw-like beaks that are almost the length of the rest of their bodies. Their favored method of hunting is 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 circle overhead their prey before striking.
