Writers of the Bestiary(I forget who you are)!!! I was just reading Kendermore, and a thought came to me. YOU MUST HAVE GOATSUCKER BIRDS IN THE BESTIARY!!!!!!!!!!

If I remember correctly, in the Annotated Chronicles, somebody mentioned something about goatsucker birds were actually created by a dude that was trying to come up with some custom monsters for Krynn, or somehting like that. You *MUST* put them in. I will cry if you don't.

I do believe Cam did tell me that Goatsuckers were at least mentioned in the Beastiary even if they don't get full stats. :D

You can use these if you'd like: Goatsucker Stats

Well, I looked into it and I found out that goatsucker birds are real birds. I was confusing them with El Chupacabra, you see, which is a scary monster. A goatsucker bird is just a bird. Granted, on Krynn there are probably giant goatsucker birds, which would be a little more scary, but the wind was kind of taken out of my sails when I realized they weren't scary soul-sucking devouring monsters.

Cheers,
Cam

Do you think people need stats for the former?

Man. At this rate we'll need to write up kingfisher stats, too...

Yep..all Solamnic Knights should know the crowned kingfisher's stats by heart, so may as well print them. Also, don't forget the arum (death) lily plant for the Neraka Knights!:D

You know, a kingfisher would be a perfect familiar for a Solamnic Auxiliary Mage... ;)

One could make the case that Blinken uth Blinken from AoM does have one;) I would just use the raven's stats.

You know, the latter of those two pics might work for the raptor.

Although it looks like a giant sparrow or something.
