Description Mark: Here is the Monster-bird. A raptor similar in appearance to the native american legend, the thunder-bird but with a more biological twist

1. The bird's body design is similar in musculature and biology to an eagle, hawk, or falcon. A broad and expandable chest with strong hindlimbs or take-off and grabbing other animals while on the fly. While the wings are similar in design and mobility to that of the california condor, North America's largest, and most endangered bird. The Monster-Bird's condor-like wings which span 30-35 feet across are perfect for flying in a far distance as well as gliding and soaring on thermals.

2. It's head and beak are pretty similar to that of the terror birds. Terror birds or Phorusrhacids are well known for being huge predatory birds who hold huge beaks that and slice through flesh and crush bone. it is also similar to a stork's beak, for it is longer and slender for snagging small animals from off the ground then swallowing them whole.

3. on the bird's conder-like wings are hands similar to those on a theropod dinosaur or a pterosaur. In fact these hands as well as the entire wings are similar in biology to those of pterosaurs, like pteranodon and quetzalcoatlus. Mostly this birds is bipedal but when it's time to take off, it stand of all fours, then crouches, vaults with it's back feet off the ground, and finally leap off it's front limbs and quickly spread out it's wings as soon as it's up in the air. These hands are also useful holding something while on the ground and occasionally walking.

4. As well as having the forelimbs of a pterosaur, The Monster-Bird also sports talons similar to those of an owl which in often times and with the leg power of a terror bird or eagle are perfect for snatching animals 1/4 - 3/4's of it's own size, even if it's still alive. They're are many attacks and abductions of Monster-Birds on humans, with most attacks fatal or non-fatal. (Hey I can't Decide)

5. So there u have it. With the body design of an eagle, the wings of a condor, the head of a terror bird, the beak of a stork, and the hands of a pterosaur with the fingers of a dinosaur, and the talons of an owl. All together making The Monster-Bird, truly, a Monster-Bird.
