ABOUT

The clockwork raptor is a small avian automaton created by many artificer guilds. Its lithe body resembles that of a feathered bird, crafted from gleaming metal alloys. Its intricately designed framework is adorned with brass embellishments and finely detailed plumage, and its metallic feathers are meticulously crafted to mimic its organic counterparts. Its eyes, adorned with gemstone-like orbs, glow with a mesmerizing azure hue, giving the illusion of calculating intent.

Clockwork raptors are often used as scouts. They can communicate over great distances, and they possess limited combat abilities that can aid their masters in a fight. Clockwork raptors can be obtained through some artificer guilds, though their cost varies based on demand and availability, though they average around 2,500 gp. The creator can communicate with them telepathically, and this ability passes on to anyone who purchases them or finds them after they have been abandoned.
