Blood hawks are about 2 feet long, with a 6 -foot wingspread. They are particularly aggressive, and have been known to attack humanoids. Some claim that they are particularly fond of human flesh, which may be true, but it is possible to raise a blood hawk from the egg to be used for falconry. Blood hawks are never easy to work with, but the prestige of owning one places a minimum value of 2d30+30 gp on a trained bird. The ability to consistently handle a blood hawk lends considerable prestige to a falconer. Blood hawks are instinctively driven to line their nests with shiny pebbles and objects, so that gems, buckles, and bits of other polished bits of metal worn by travelers may easily provoke an attack. Their nests are sometimes sought out in hopes of finding such treasures.
