Description
The Nok Tantima is an emissary send by the gods to right wrongs or wrong rights, depending on their point of view. They are majestic beings, towering at an impressive height of 8 feet. Their skin glows in resplendent hues of emerald green, ruby red, or sapphire blue. They possess four powerful arms and a pair of golden wings that glisten with every movement. Their talons and beaks, also golden, add to their regal appearance.
Their beaks, resembling those of a kite, complement their round, piercing eyes that reflect a keen intelligence. The nok tantima's legs and wings are also akin to those of a kite, giving them a unique blend of avian and humanoid traits. They exhibit striking hawk- like features on a towering human body, creating an awe-inspiring presence that commands reverence and admiration.
When flying they attack with their lower legs. On the ground they bite with their hawk-like beaks. They prefer to attack while flying, until they lose more than half their hit points, at which point they will either land to fight or fly away. Additionally, they can cast spells as a 6th-level Cleric.
Due to their divine nature nok tantimas can only be harmed by magic weapons of +2 or better bonus, and they are immune to spells of first or second level.
