Background/History: Nighthawks are a species of nocturnal raptor native to the wooded hills of Yrmania.
Personality/Motivation: Normal animal motivations.
Powers/Tactics: Swiftest of Talislanta's birds, these ebony predators hunt only during the late evening hours. They have exceptional night vision and can spot even the slightest movement on the ground from altitudes of over one thousand feet. Their shining wings being capable of slicing through even the toughest hide (the bird's claws and beak are used primarily to grasp and tear prey after it has been slain.)
Campaign Use: Highly prized as hunting birds, nighthawks are sometimes tamed and kept as companions by Jaka traders and manhunters. The birds can be taught to hunt by day as well, provided they are given sufficient rest.
