Rahawk
Rahawk is loosely based on Ra, an Egyptian Sun God who took the form of a hawk. I mixed in traits from swallows, owls and dragonflies to make it more than just a cartoon bird. It's difficult to make avian monsters stand out and still read as birds and not weird feathery aliens.

Metamorphoses Into Raharpy

This Kreature is designed for surveillance, reconnaissance and air-to-air combat. It has four wings which grant it incredible speed and manoeuvrability in flight, enabling it to hover and even fly backwards. It absorbs energy from the sun and unleashes it in the form of heat vision with devastating range and precision. Feral specimens are hardy and adaptable predators that will nest in tall trees, or on rock formations or tall buildings. Rahawks form monogamous pairings who work together to raise their chicks; if they make a kill that is too heavy to carry back to the nest, they'll take turns dismembering it and bring back the meat piece by piece. Their A-shaped tail feathers are used to signal to others of their own kind. Males have longer tail feathers than females, and their vivid colours are a symbol of his vitality.
