Carcasswan

mates for life — and eats the lost half

Lone: HP 15, Morale −, Bite/Claws d8 Pair: HP 5 each, Morale −, Bite/Claws d6

Encountered as a lone bird or a pair (d2).

Special: Mates for life. When one of the pair dies, the survivor eats its dead lover and gains a taste for flesh. The lone Carcasswan is the more dangerous form.

Lore: A decade-long story eventually ending in the surviving half eating its dead lover. Long story short, when you see a lone Carcasswan, you run. Before it sees you. The pair-stat is the gentler bird; the lone-stat is the bereaved.
