Cliff racers are bird-like creatures that infest the skies of warm lands. They have wingspans of around six feet, a vertical sail along their spines, and a whip-like tail. A flock of cliff racers can number from three to several dozen. Flying high, they survey the landscape for creatures to harass. Once a target is spotted, they swoop down and attack with their beaks as they issue gobble-like cries. They are very aggressive and prone to attacking creatures much larger than themselves. Nothing is safe from them, including travelers, caravans, and even cities. They can be particularly dangerous as they are known for spreading diseases. Cliff racer plumes are used as decorations for clothing and household items, and their skin can be tanned to make various leather goods. Cliff racers make their nests in high places so their many eggs are well protected.
