‘Everyone’ knows the moan of the Moan Bird means death. It arouses an instinctive fear that causes people to flee from its presence, especially among the Azcans, who grow up on stories of how it heralds death. It actually spends much of its time flying among the floating islands of the Hollow World, where air may be thin to non-extant. It only fights humans and humanoids and demi-humans if it has no other choice, preferring to eat vermin. It looks like a ghostly combination of a falcon and an owl.
