Buy me a coffeeOrnimegalonyx
A sudden scream is heard from the brush. When you investigate, you see a large owl performing a killing blow on a big rodent. When it sees you, the bird lets out a screech of discontent, spreading its wings over its kill.

Combat
An ornimegalonyx will use its beak and piercing claws in combat. If it gets a running start, an ornimeg will pounce upon the animal, smacking its claws into the target.
Pounce (Ex) When an ornimegalonyx makes a charge, it can follow with a full attack.
