Netherbird

Netherbirds were a species of birds who served the god of tyranny Bane.
==Description==
Netherbirds ranged in size from small to near-human-sized, but they had black, dusty feathers, hideously large talons, and razor-sharp beaks, and they usually stank of blood and decay.
==Behavior==
Netherbirds were relatively intelligent for animals, and could be trained as messenger birds.
==Abilities/Combat==
Netherbirds attacked with beak and talon, screaming and hissing at their prey as they did so. They could fly, and quickly, but were not particularly skilled in the air.
==Ecology==
Netherbirds were always found in flocks of 3–30 specimens. They laired in the desolate regions of crags and high, rolling moors.
==Biology==
Netherbirds would eat all manner of flesh, living or dead. Their black, leathery eggs hatched unattended.
==History==
Netherbirds served Bane, but may have originally come from Avernus.
