Abyssal chicken

Abyssal chickens were small fiends native to the Abyss.
==Description==
Abyssal chickens were small creatures. They had leather wings but were not capable of sustained flight. Their wings were folded above them, giving them a tear-shaped appearance. They had a large mouth filled with fangs and a long tongue. Abyssal chickens' primary form of locomotion was their two large legs, which ended in feet resembling those of a regular chicken. Each foot had three large claws. 
==Combat==
Abyssal chickens used their claws and fangs to defend themselves or attack prey. They were fast runners and used their wings to increase their speed.
==Ecology==
Native to the Abyss, abyssal chickens were also found on Avernus. They were spawned fully-grown in the Spawning Trees. The trees held fleshy sacks on their branches, and when mature they fell to the ground, breaking open.
==Uses==
Abyssal chickens were hunted and used as a food item. Their flesh had a taste identical to that of a fatty chicken. They were sometimes used as familiars.
==Notable Abyssal Chickens==
