"Bert...I do not like how that thing is looking at us..."

In one of the most bizarre incidents of magical hybridization on record, the great wizard Sandaman decided that he needed some magical guardians, but all he had to work with were the massive Llama herds surrounding his mountains, and the occasional flock of birds. So he said to hell with it and went for broke. And thus the Llamabirds were born. He still had huge herds for feeding staff, and fur to make money while he was involved with higher pursuits. It worked too. Would be opponents are genuinely reticent to wade through the Llamabirds.

PTOOEY! (ex): A Llamabird has can blind an opponent with it's spittle for 1d4 rounds if they fail a DC 15 Reflex Save (Save DC is Constitution Based). This has a range of 30', is a Standard Action, and can be done a number of times per day equal to their Constitution Modifier.

Combat: Llamabirds will tend to watch potential enemies closely while making no move against them, and then hock a loogie into their eyes to blind them before charging. Birds are mean, deceptive critters.




Llamabird
"Good evening, and welcome to Mutual of Gnomeahaw's Wild Kingdom! As always, I'm your host Harlan Jergens! Today on Wild Kingdom Jim and I will be touring Sandaman Ranches, located on the Great Dividing Mountains."

As Close As You Can Get To Being Actively Malevolent Without Being Evil

"And, shockingly, it hasn't been overrun by the Spider Clan."

"We credit the Llamabirds for that. No one likes taking a hot loogy in the eye, 'specially if you got eight or more of 'em."

"So the experiment has been a success then?"

"What bird did he use in the mix? Jebus that's vicious looking."


Duck If They Clear Their Throat

"They're amazingly popular as farm animals, and as badges of high weirdness. All the craziest of mages are getting some."

"What colors do they come in?"

"Harlan, I am not taking care of these..."
