Ghost Fliers
Immense aerial predators of swamps, misted lowlands, and foggy river valleys, the Ghost Fliers have vast wingspans and wings stretched taut as old paper. They produce no wingbeat sound whatsoever, drifting through mist with eerie silence and watching for movement below. Their presence is heralded only by the sudden, complete silence of every smaller creature in the canopy.
Key traits
- Enormous in wingspan, with thin wings stretched taut as old paper; the overall silhouette is vast and unsettling against the mist.
- Completely silent in flight; no wingbeat is audible regardless of proximity, making detection by ear impossible.
- Aerial carnivores that patrol swamps, misted lowlands, and foggy river valleys, watching for movement below before dropping without warning.
- Their approach is signalled not by any sound they make but by the sudden absence of canopy chatter as every smaller creature simultaneously falls silent.
- Attacks are delivered without warning and without mercy; prey has no practical opportunity to react or flee once a Ghost Flier has committed to a strike.
