Sea gull

Sea gulls were a mundane species of bird found in the Realms.

Habitats
In North Faerûn, sea gulls could be found around the city of Tantras and Harrowdale's small set of islands, the Shoulder.

In the Trackless Sea, they were prevalent on the Nelanther Isles.

Beyond Faerûn, these birds could be found in the region of Kara-Tur around Paikai.

Relationships
Sea gulls were favored animals of the Untheric deity Ramman and the Faerûnian deity Valkur. The latter's specialty priests, stormharbors, often had a sea gull design embroidered on their outfits with gold thread in the believe that it would bring them good luck.

The inhabitants of the Paikai islands believed these birds to be representatives of the souls of the dead. They would hold an annual ceremony, called the Festival of Seagulls, in which they would leave out plates of raw meat for them.

Trivia
Any humanoid that sat on the magical granite throne inside Dangwaru could transform themselves into a sea gull for a period of eight hours.
