Terrorhawk

Épirevier · no. 156 in the monster list

Everything is read from the game's code, unless stated otherwise

Raised on molten magma, these fiery, feathered fiends ignite enemies with Flame Breath, and fox them with Fuddle.

They were once very docile birds, but went batty when bashed on the bonce by boulders when the Magmaroo erupted.

Habitat (in-game monster list)

Wyrmtail · Wyrmwing · The Magmaroo · Ocean

In the game, a defeated monster's entry names one of these places as soon as you have visited it, even if you never defeated that monster there; otherwise “?????????” (checked in game). The first two are named, “Etc.” for the third.

In the field

Behaviour: spots the party all around it up to 7 units, then chases it, but runs away if the leader's attack + defence exceed 3 times its own.

In each cell: share of the visible monsters in that zone, then (in brackets) share of that zone's battles it takes part in, alone or with others. “Joins”: never visible, it only comes along with the monster you touched. “In the forest”, “on the coast”…: which monsters appear depends on the ground under the hero's feet (grass, forest, coast, rocky ground, swamp…); with no detail, they appear anywhere on the map. “Starflight Express stop”, “islet”, “part”: a separate corner of the region, reached as shown. Exact figures from the game code.
