A rhacos is blue-gray in color with an elongated neck and long narrow legs. They have a long, delicate feather (or, on rare occasion, multiple feathers) protruding from the top of their heads. Their beaks are as large as a man's head and their claws can be nearly as long as daggers. An apex predator of the forests, grasslands, and river valleys of the northern world, a single rhacos can easily devastate even a large hunting party. Rhacos eggs are considered an epicurean treat and collected whenever possible. A single undamaged rhacos feather can fetch hundreds of gold pieces from the right buyer, especially haberdashers who cater to the wealthy.
