Axe beak

Axe beaks were tall and aggressive flightless birds.

Description
Axe beaks got their name from their sharp wedge-shaped beaks. They had strong necks and powerful legs, which they used to sprint at high speeds.

Abilities
Axebeaks were faster runners than most horses.

Behavior
Axe beaks were aggressive hunters and usually hunted during daytime. They were always prone to attack any unfamiliar creatures that approached them.

Combat
The main natural weapon an axe beak used in combat was its heavy and sharp beak.

Ecology
Axe beaks were most commonly found in hills and grasslands, but they were also common to the jungles of Chult and the Snout of Omgar.

Flocks of axe beaks were also believed to be protective of their young, rushing to its aid in case of danger.

The tortles of Ahoyhoy sometimes captured wild axe beaks to sell them to visitors.
