Avian Companions

Default description:
Regal and aloof, the falcon outwardly displays no interest in his surroundings except for his large keen eyes, which flick to and fro, following the slightest movement. Occasionally, he stretches his impressive wings to their full span and leans back and forth on his cruelly hooked claws. While a silver-tipped mountain falcon appears docile enough at the moment, he would clearly be a formidable ally or opponent.

Flying:
A silver-tipped mountain falcon soars high overhead, lazily gliding up and down in the gentlest of breezes. The large and powerful wings dominate the picturesque view of the falcon as he performs swift aerial stunts.
