Mutated by prolonged exposure to the Demon Winds, the buzz-ard was once a carrion eater but now a vicious bird of prey. Its throat is encircled by bone spurns instead of feathers. With a wingspan as wide as man, the bird is covered in black feathers with a congealed blood sheen. It is these feathers that prove the most dangerous. Swopping and spinning through its prey, the buzz-ard cuts meals to ribbons before feasting on them. When a foe proves too tough, it coats the creature in vile vomit to even the odds.
