Description
"A Razor Hawk was a large, rather reptilian-looking bird of prey that ruled the skies. Normally the size of a Vortixx, a single Hawk's territory could be well over fifty square bio. The Hawk was one of the most perfect predators. It could fly silently on the winds, like a rahi owl, and had a sharp, serrated beak that could tear the armor from an ash bear, along with clawed and taloned feet that would help the task. Razor Hawks had strong wings, capable of carrying up to three quarters of their own weight for a short distance in flight. Their top speed could rival a Phase Dragon (while it wasn't phasing). Even with its apex senses of sight, hearing, top-notch speed, agility and strength, what really made the Razor Hawk the rulers of the skies were the razor-sharp feathers that covered it, serving as defensive armor or offensive adaptation; and always kept it warm. The feathers were as sharp as any manufactured blade, and could all be individually angled, depending on whether the Hawk wanted to slice up its rivals with its wings or nestle down into its nest and stay dry and comfortable in a rainstorm."- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
This is the description given to me by Rusty Red Raptor ( [link] ; writer of my favorite ongoing story in fanfiction.net so far) for the design of this particular rahi
Pointers:
-the wings were a pain in the ass
-it reminds me of a raven
-the long red feathers can be ussed like daggertails by the hawk ([link] )
-the tail is more like a dragon's than a bird's
-the drawing depicts all the feathers aligned to make of faster, so you can't notice one body feather from another
-the back leg is already bent once, it isn't shorter than the other
-the small pencil thing on the side is a size comparison between a toa and a razor hawk
