Description
"Scavenger animal, mostly living off of calcium in bones. Isn't afraid to attack the living if a meal presents itself to them. You are better off to stay away from this one!"
Species name:
Demon Bird, most commonly referred as the Tooth Fairy
Species:
Something between a bird of prey and a bug.
Chosen design elements:
So I decided to make this really scary dangerous predator animal that could be a subject to many horror stories. Basically I want with a mix of a wasp and bat with bird feather wings and slightly hooked up claws. I decided to use natural warning colors for red being in the eyes and yellow in the stinger and slightly in wings. These to colors can be seen in nature as well as traffic lights to warn us of danger to not get close to this thing. You know if the piranha teeth, claws and damn stinger weren't good enough reasons to stay away from this thing. I also put some dinosaur like elements to this with head shape, few spikes and hooked back claws. I find bugs pretty creepy looking up close so I think I had a right starting point.
Description:
Demon Birds are mostly scavengers of skeletons. They diet consists calcium so they are usual sight close to big burial grounds or anywhere else that dead are usual sight. This is because the eat bones, whole bones and leave nothing of it behind. In case they attack living animal they burrow through the skin and meat directly to the bones, leaving rest as a mess behind. This is unusual though since they are more interested of the ready dead corpses for easier meal. However if you happen to get these things attention, you'll soon find out why these things are more commonly referred as Tooth Fairies. Remember, your teeth have calcium and these things love the taste to teeth. Those are first to go...
Demon Birds usually roam around during the night since they don't like light and other predators leave animal corpses around for them during the night. They can see well in the dark with their four eyes. However they are known to be few cases where a single one of them has flown around during the day even though they normally travel in packs of five or six. As scavengers they usually don't attack the living but they are equipped with stinger that causes paralysis when hit. Other means of defense is their saliva. The spit itself is a mild acid, nothing to be too worried about but you might want to wash it off. This acid is used to soften up the bones they eat as well as distractions in the fight.
Demon Birds don't make much sounds, only some screeching when they announce themselves to attack you. Most communications happen through body language and dances. Their mating dance is told to be quite complex and aggressive. The mating itself happens quite rarely during the year. When Demon Birds mate they usually have a at least 20 children ones and the mother takes care of them while father looks for food for them with packs.
Now, you must be thinking to yourself, how to defend yourself against these things. First off this things are really stupid, like really dumb. Apparently one little girl saved herself from a swarm of Demon Birds by hiding under a blanket. Apparently, if these things don't see you directly in the eyes, you are invisible to them. Secondly strong lights can stun and scared them off. Thirdly they hate cold so if you can drop the temperature on them, they'll try to escape you.
As for taming...I don't recommend it. These things are more likely to eat you...

Funny thing was that I thought you might not like it since it's little morbid XD
