Osseous

Although the airspace of the Godless Land is mainly filled with air and atmospheric phenomena, you can sporadically notice shapes resembling rather large birds. The wingspan of these creatures ranges from 8 to 12 feet. These creatures hunt in small flocks of 5 to 11 individuals. Their face-skull with a sharp beak is composed of nothing but bones, left uncovered by skin. The skin of this creature begins to cover the bone only at the level of the eye sockets and extends roughly to the middle of the tail, the end of which also features a bare, bony, thin “whip.” Osseous are known for their exceptional brutality. They fight mainly using their tail, which can cut through skin and muscles with a single blow. The spiky end makes it function as a catcher, allowing the creatures to carry loads. Sometimes during a fight, they stand on their tail and use their wings, the edges of which can cut through solid armor. Their skin is dark green. In places, it can have a splash of grayishness. Travelers must be weary of these creatures, as they delight in savoring the flesh of victims that are still breathing. The cries of pain sometimes bring them more pleasure than consuming the meal itself, so their consumption is exceptionally slow.
