Avestrich

The avestrich is a common companion-livestock* for any faun who travels. This large bird is capable of high speeds and very short gliding. In the wild, the avestrich stays in small family groups before younger aves leave to form their own pack. Predatory in nature, its main diet is composed of lapines and other quick yet small animals. They are not typically scavengers and will roam kilometers for their next meal.

With semi-hollow bones, the avestrich prefers to carry a lighter load. Otherwise, the famous stamina they are known for may be negatively affected. It is with fact that most individuals will simply use their avestrich for long distance travels and nothing more.
