Netherbirds were a species of birds who served the god of tyranny Bane.[1]
Description[]
Netherbirds ranged in size from small to near-human-sized, but they had black, dusty feathers, hideously large talons, and razor-sharp beaks, and they usually stank of blood and decay.[1]
Behavior[]
Netherbirds were relatively intelligent for animals, and could be trained as messenger birds.[1]
Abilities/Combat[]
Netherbirds attacked with beak and talon, screaming and hissing at their prey as they did so. They could fly, and quickly, but were not particularly skilled in the air.[1]
Ecology[]
Netherbirds were always found in flocks of 3–30 specimens. They laired in the desolate regions of crags and high, rolling moors.[1]
Biology[]
Netherbirds would eat all manner of flesh, living or dead. Their black, leathery eggs hatched unattended.[1]
History[]
Netherbirds served Bane, but may have originally come from Avernus.[1]
