The creature has a sinuous, snakelike body with a long neck and tail. Two pairs of feathered wings extend from the body, one on the top and another on the bottom. Most of the body is covered with iridescent blue scales, with tufts of yellow feathers at the base of the neck and the tail. The head has a black, toothed beak and four eyes, one pair above the beak and the other below.
An arrowhawk is a predator and scavenger from the Elemental Plane of Air. It is a consummate flier that spends its entire life on the wing.
Contents
An arrowhawk is always in motion while it lives. It can fly from the moment it hatches, and it eats, sleeps, and mates without ever touching ground. By twisting its body and varying the cadence of its wingbeats, an arrowhawk can fly at top speed in any direction.
Arrowhawk eggs have an innate levitation ability. Females lay clutches of 2d4 eggs in midair and leave them to float until they hatch. The female guards the eggs and collects them if the wind scatters them, but otherwise leaves them alone.
Arrowhawks speak Auran, but they are not usually talkative creatures.
Combat
Arrowhawks are extremely territorial and always hungry. They attack almost any other creature they meet, seeking a meal or trying to drive away a rival. The primary mode of attack is an electricity ray, fired from the tail. The creature also bites, but it prefers to stay out of reach.
