Garuda

This winged creature has clawed hands and bird's talons. Large, glinting eyes and a serrated beak dominate its avian face.

Garudas are noble, birdlike creatures that inhabit rugged hills. While they remain detached from humanoid societies, they are impetuous and gallant, often serving as protectors of nearby communities.

Most garudas stand around 6 feet tall with a wingspan of 15 feet and weigh approximately 150 pounds.

Special Abilities

Hatred (Ex) Garudas receive a +1 racial bonus on attack and damage rolls against nagas and other serpentine monsters of the aberration type.

Spells Garudas cast spells as 7th-level sorcerers.

Swooping Pounce (Ex) When a garuda makes a diving aerial charge, it can make a full attack with its natural weapons.

Talon or Wing (Ex) A garuda cannot use its wing attacks while flying, and cannot use its talon attacks while not flying.
