Donis are out!
Heavenly Avarna
Celestial Avarna
A rhythmic, low hum emanates from this plated egg.
Avarnae are massive, heavily armored creatures, interlocking plates giving them tremendous durability while their wings and sharp feathers allow them grace. Their strange combination of features has led many to believe that they are a kind of cockatrice. Despite possessing wings, avarnae cannot fly; rather, they use them for balance when rearing up or as part of a threat display. They also use the serrated edges of their wings to cut into the earth as they burrow deep into the ground. Their bodies are tough enough to withstand the high pressure and heat found deep within the earth, where they can dwell among crystals and even diamonds. Many have sought to follow their tunnels in search of riches, or have been led underground by the humming sounds they create as they navigate dark caverns. With two beaks to create humming sounds and two sets of ears to hear echoes, these creatures are able to easily scope out hard to find prey either underground or just above it.
