Blood hawks resemble normal hawks in size alone, as their beaks are
razor sharp and their talons unusually strong. Their wings are similar
to those of an eagle, giving them considerable SPEED in flight.
For purposes of aerial combat, they are manoeuvrability class B.

They attack with their beaks (1-6 HP of damage) and two sets
of talons (1-4 HP of damage each set), swooping swiftly and
silently onto their victims. Blood hawks are fond of human flesh and
will continue to attack humans even when the melee is going against them.

They will pick at the dead bodies of their prey, not only for food but
also for gems which they lines their nests as an allurement to
blood hawk females. All other types of treasure will be ignored.

In colour the blood hawk is uniformly grey.
