Amikiri

The Amikiri is a solitary creature about the size of a small dog.
From the waist back it is shaped like a snake, its front is somewhat like a lobster with a gull’s head. It has only two limbs, both ot which have sharp cutting pincers like scissors — they are carried before it like a lobster.
The Amikiri either glides on the ground (Speed 4) like a snake or flies . The skin of its belly contains enough mana to allow it to fly for 1 minute out of every hour. It has no wings.
Known as the Net Cutter, it delights in mischief around the house. It dwells in gutters, drains, eaves, odd spaces in cut-buildings, etc. Any little thing it can do to disrupt the household it will — cut ropes, tip over pails, snip scrolls in pieces, etc.
It is not a bold creature, and will not do its pranks if it thinks it will be noticed. It never attacks a human outright. If cornered, it will fight but look constantly for a way to flee. It fights with its pincers, has full coordination and may make two attacks per turn and still defend 
itself.
An Amikiri can also ram an opponent with its sharp beak. It needs to be able to fly to do this. If the foe successfully dodges, it keeps going its full move, trying to get away.
It is active only during the day but it wakes at dawn to start its mischief.
