Eagle-dragon

Eagle-dragons are large, carnivorous bipeds that are often encountered in the far North and that feed on large prey, often devouring even the vast Greater Plain-Combers' young, alongside elk and musk-oxen. Fast on their feet and fearless, they are a danger to all travellers in the Yobred region of the Earth-Domain of Kadarys.

Description and behaviour
Eagle-dragons are longer than they are tall, with a long tail trailing in the air at roughly the same level as their head-both oriented horizontally, giving the animal a deceptively low profile. They measure at lengths of between 11 and 14 meters and heights of between 4 and 6 meters at the hip. Their legs in comparison to their bodies are stocky and a bit short, yet significantly longer than their forelimbs, that never touch the ground and carry three large claws-much like those of a bird of prey. Regardless, their front limbs are long enough and flexible enough to hold down prey and be used as weapons. Their heads are long, only slightly shorter than their torso and have large eyes, that allow them to see in the dark. Their bite is their primary method of bringing down prey and foes. Eagle-dragons are about five meters tall at the hip and more than sixteen meters long from their snout and the tip of their tail. They are covered in rough, brownish fur, yet have no ears visible and their noses are simple holes in the skull.

Eagle-dragons are bold and seem to not fear people, but can employ cunning and ambush tactics when needed. The only being that can pose a serious threat to them seem to be the Greater Plain-Comber, which is both larger than them and seems to also move in herds, and of course - humans. For some reasons, the elven denizens of the Earth-Domain seem to leave these creatures alone-perhaps, due to their scarcity.

Tannavet Arc
During their travel towards Tannavet Yuliko, Ezra and the Grey Ghost were attacked by an eagle-dragon while resting, after the two mercenaries had restrained Ezra, and had been resting. Ezra had tried to convince Yuliko to assist him, yet before his plan could come to fruition, the animal attacked, snatching away one of their horses and wounding Grey Ghost. The group then reorganized and hunted the creature down, in an attempt to retrieve their horse. While they succeeded in killing the eagle-dragon, it had already severely mauled their horse.
