Introduction
A mean bird... err lizard? The pyrolisk can often be found in the deep caves of Ferrell and can be the very quick end to an adventure... Besides its odd magical protections, the pyrolisk has the ability to turn creatures into stone from a single touch... Obviously, this works well as a defensive measure and gives the added bonus of extra digestive stones for the bird/lizard creature. Also the pyrolisk is often confused with the cockatrice, which turns its prey into stone, whereas the pyrolisk has the ability to light things on fire. One wonders if those who originally named the pyrolisks of Ferrell might have gotten confused.
Feeding Habits
Pyrolisks often like to have small stones in their stomach to aid in digestion... Don't be that stone.
Disposition and Social Habits
Always in groups and very territorial but not openly aggressive unless bothered.
Habitat
In the Ferrell caves and preferably in the smaller corridors and not the open areas.
Fylgia
Most compatible: Dire Rat
- It's got wings... but also scales... Very confusing creature but it's wily and prefers dark holes and caves. Much more ratlike than birdlike.
Other notes
One wonders if they have a connection to the dracolisks and how the two interact. Perhaps a symbiosis?
