Description: A Teratorn's exceptional wingspan allows for long gliding flights, riding the updraft winds of the ocean at great heights. Its considerable size means it is not agile in the air, but once it locates an enticing prey on the ground below or in the ocean, a Teratorn will dive at speed, knocking down its target before stinging it with its barbed tail, which is poisonous and sharp enough to pierce thick armor. Teratorns are not especially intelligent, and have been known to mistake smaller ships for prey. Teratorns are vulnerable on the ground or once in the sea, and once they have stung their prey they will seek to carry it off to land to drop it from great heights. If the prey is too big they will eat it where it lies, using their tail to ward off any predators that seek to share the kill.
