Description

Normal hawks (or falcons) are raptors, predatory birds that typically subsist on small snakes and other vermin. Most have wingspans of less than 5 feet and a body length of no more than 2 feet.

Giant hawks are 4 to 6 feet long, with wingspans of 12 feet or more; they can carry off creatures of Halfling size or smaller.

All hawks will shy away from combat with any creature of equal or greater size, unless forced or cornered or their eggs or offspring are threatened.
