Description
Giant falcons speak their own language and understand Common, Sylvan, and Auran.
They have slimmer bodies than giant eagles, and their wings are pointed. They can dive at speeds of over 200 miles per hour, making them the fastest of all of the birds of prey. Their opponents get disadvantage on surprise checks when the falcon is already airborne at the time of the encounter.
