humongoose

Rare megafauna with a honk like a thundercrack, their lives consist mostly of eating entire trees, from the canopy to the curly roots, along with any critters that might be dwelling in them. Humongeese are highly territorial, and while they are not explicitly carnivorous, they gobble wayward adventurers who've strayed near their roosts. Due to their size, humongeese only dwell in the mountains with a mate, but gather in the southern seas during winter months in greater numbers.

Names: Thunderhonk, Avalanche, Tremorbeak, Queen Stompy

vulnerabilities

One of the only natural predators of the humongoose is the dreaded skrokwing, which also occupies the high mountains of Eem. Loud, deafening screeches or massive overhead shadows that mimic a skrokwing are sure to startle humongeese.

combat

Humongeese can be nasty and relentless in their pursuit, chasing trespassers for miles. While they can fly, they never do so in a fight; instead, they charge to and fro from threat to threat, their huge wings outstretched and flapping. They also use their disruptive honk to great effect, deafening their opponents and preventing clear communication.
