Netherbirds vary in size, from small to almost human-sized. These black, dusty-feathered birds have grotesquely large talons and razor-sharp beaks.
Combat: Netherbirds are particularly skilled in combat, attacking ferociously with talons and beak. When they do, they scream and hiss at their prey.
They can fly fast, but they're not particularly skilled in the air.
Habitat/Society: Netherbirds may have come from Avernus originally, and now serve the power Bane. They are always found in flocks, and can be trained as message-carriers. They lair in desolate areas of crags and high, rolling moorland. Their eggs are black and leathery, and they hatch untended
Ecology: These birds eat all manner of flesh, living or dead, and usually stink of blood and decay.
