Across the skies of magical forests soar hræsvelgr, the great corpse-swallowers that cast shadows on mountains. Even newly hatched hræsvelgr are giant eagles that tower over their prey. They have gained their epithet from their method of hunting, swooping from the sky and swallowing their prey whole. Hunger acts as a switch for hræsvelgr, switching from majestic, pacifist angels to swooping, ravenous demons. |
