Avocu are large, flightless birds with short, almost furry feathers the color of cobalt with complimenting gray colors. their beaks are semi-hooked and ends in a point. They are often stained red with blood. Avocu have large, almost alien looking red eyes that glow slightly. When threatened, it is revealed that several large eyes cover the neck of the creature, each of which can move independently. The purpose of the eyes is to intimidate and frighten their prey, or to scare off trespassers in their territory. They are highly aggressive and difficult to train, persistent druids or rangers sometimes raise an Avocu as loyal protectors and travel companions... An effort sometimes resulting in their demise.   Salvage. The Beaks of Avocu are highly prized by hunters and exotic collectors, and are worth 200gp to them. The fluid within their eyes is also desired by collectors and alchemists for its natural glow.

Suggested Environments

Avocu live in savannahs and mountainous regions, usually in hot dry weather. Their beaks are designed to pierce rock and attack creatures deep within such as snakes or prairie dogs.
