Albecto

Beast Name: Albecto

Approximate Size (l x w x h): 3'x1'x4'

Known Locations: Devla Sands, River Sands, Desert

Strengths & Weaknesses (if applicable): The Albecto is a very fast runner. Although it is a bird, it does not fly. Its wings have evolved over the centuries into something like front legs with one talon at their tip. The beasts use these to push off the ground and run faster. Their main weakness is their extremely long neck. If they are not careful while running or hunting, it will snap with sudden movement. It is also a vulnerable spot for a sword if engaged in combat.

Weapons & Defenses (if applicable): Sharp beaks, talons, long wing span. Otherwise unknown.

Observations (in biology or behavior):

Common knowledge: For the most part these birds are content to hunt and keep to themselves. It is very rare that they will attack humans, however, if they are near starvation or guarding their young, it has been known to happen.

Legend: Spotting an Albecto during the day is considered very, very lucky.
