Raakle

''You see a bird with brilliant orange and red plumage and a body the size of a half-giant. The creature has powerful, three-clawed feet and a tubular beak no wider than a human finger.''

Combat
Raakles attack by grabbing a foe with both claws and spitting gluey stomach acid over the grappled victim. Once the raakle digests its prey, it sucks the oozy remains up through its tube-like beak. A raakle unable to spit more acid will flee from combat, as it cannot digest any more food that day. A raakle can spit acid without first grappling its prey, but it rarely risks doing so and potentially missing a target with its digestive juices.

Description
Raakles are predatorial birds that roam the forests, mountains and rocky wastes of the Tablelands in search of prey. They resemble parrots but for their narrow heads, which end in a tiny beak that the creature uses to spray acid over its quarry. A raakle stands almost 12 feet tall and weighs 900 pounds.
