Dredix

Summary
The Dreadix ( Dread - Ix ) is a demon-like bird that roams the forest near bodies of water. They master the art of stalking and ambushing,attacking for their prey when they are either drinking or sleeping. Human encounters are very rare with over half of the encounters being fatal to the human due to a possible rescue coming little to late.

Appearence
The Dredix has a very peculiar appearance. It has a long, thin beak with sharp edges, similar to teeth, across its mouth, inside its mouth is a long and sharp tongue capable of stretching a meter long. Its eyes seemingly have no pupils and its head overall bears resemblance to that of a crane. On top of the head is a small and thin piece of skin with a triangle on the tip, the tip itself is very sensitive and can pick up changes in the air giving it awareness of what is around even with its eyes unable to see otherwise. The neck is long and slender and is flexible enough to be able to turn its head at a 180 degree angle. Its body is big and shaped to that of a Crane or Causerie and covered with feathers sharp enough to leave injuries on the skin. The tail is long and is usually in an arc like position, its use is for steering and like the body is covered with spiky feathers. The wings are capable of flying albeit for a limited time and are used more as a way to give it a more frightening appearance.

In overall appearance, the Dreadtix is largely gray and covered with feathers spare the legs and feet. There is also red spots sprinkled on it that are proven to, once something gets too close, will glow brightly and emit a poisonous gas that poisons the target very quickly, limiting their energy in the process.

Notable Attacks and Techiques
Tongue: It's common choice of attack, the Dredix posses a pointed tongue that can extend a meter and is highly flexible. The tongue is under the Dredix's control meaning it can also turn similar to a snake or rope and can with this, turn it into a circle that can then hold prey or a predators neck and snap it. The tongue is also used to trip or immobilize one of the targets limbs.

Poison Manipulation: If a predator is too close for the Dredix, its red spots will emit poisonous glasses, invisible to the eye that will surround everything a meter away from its current position. Any living thing that comes into contact with it will be immediately poisoned and will begin to weaken and slow down the bloodstream of the target, this will in turn drain the targets energy. Witnesses say that the poison would take 10-15 minutes to fully kill a human with it being a very slow and torturous death.
