Ace sold

Ace is a large, old skyshark* cockatrice. For most of his life he worked as a falconry animal, chasing (and sometimes eating) birds that got too comfy on local airport runways. However in his old years he’s no longer quite as agile or keen on the hunt as he used to be, and he’s ended up here at the rescue. He’s surprisingly gentle with his handlers, despite his former occupation and large size (reaching about five feet tall at the top of his head), and mostly enjoys sunning his iridescent feathers nowadays.

*Skyshark cockatrix are a large (4-8 feet tall, wingspans easily reaching 20ft), fully flighted variety of cockatrice. There’s some debate about whether they constitute a subspecies or an entirely different species, but their key differences are great size, consistent flightedness, large and toothy heads, and a quadrupedal stance. They may be a bit awkward or alien on the ground, but they are all efficient and graceful aerial hunters.
