Description
Common terror birds are notable hunters. On their own, they use their great speed to catch prey unaware. In a flock, they can swarm and take down larger beasts like aurochs with their overwhelming numbers.
Terror birds aren't one species, but rather a family of deadly, flightless avian predators. All terror birds are capable of bursts of great speed and have powerful beaks that can tear apart the flesh of their prey. Most stalk large, open prairies and steppes, competing directly with other sizable predators such as big cats and wolves.
