Terradon

Terradons are large flying reptiles that have haunted the skies above Lustria since the most ancient ages of the world. They are dangerous predators with sharp talons and pointed beaks that are filled with needle-like teeth. Many creatures fear to see the ominous shadow of their wide wingspan or to hear the shrill and piercing cries of their hunting packs.

Terradons dwell in high crags and atop the jungle canopy, hundreds of metres above the ground. Their keen eyesight can pierce the gloom of the jungle, enabling them to spot potential prey at great distances. They will attack anything man-sized or smaller, and are known to swoop down and snatch their victims before finding a perch where they can leisurely pull their prey apart and feed. Their huge, leathery wings can propel them at great velocity, and they are surprisingly agile, able to fly at full speed through the thick jungle, avoiding branches, vines and trees. While hunting, Terradons often glide - hanging in the air upon the steamy, hot thermals that rise from the jungle. They can remain airborne for days on end, but will plummet earthwards upon seeing even the least movement of potential prey.

Terradons are known to snatch eggs from the nest-lairs of any number of Lustria’s gigantic creatures. Some of these eggs bear shells so thick that not even determined sledgehammer blows can break them. This does not stop the Terradon, however, as it simply grasps the egg with its talons and soars, dropping it from on high.
