Dune Strider
A tall, flightless bird with a devastating kick and remarkable speed.
Standing nearly eight feet tall on legs like coiled springs, the dune strider cuts an imposing silhouette against the desert horizon. Its vestigial wings are useless for flight but serve as counterbalances for its blistering sprints across the open sand. A thick, curved beak can punch through light armor, but it's the legs you need to watch — a single kick from a dune strider has been known to launch a grown man ten feet through the air and crack ribs through chainmail. Surprisingly, they're herbivores by preference. They just don't like being startled. Or approached. Or looked at wrong.
