What? Long leathery legs, a bundle of feathers and a snake like neck with a beak on the end. And it was tall too, massive really, and pissed from the looks of it. He had only been passing through, hadn't even really paid much attention to the prey grazing away at the grass, had his fill of a kill he'd chased some coyotes off of, so he really know what its problem was. All hissing and running at him at a speed that was so fast it was almost uncanny, would have been kinda funny to watch if it didn't try to immediately kick his head in the moment it got close enough. The force alone would have messed him up bad enough, probably even killed him, but those claws?
"Vete a la verga!" He hissed, barely ducking away in time, felt the kick whiff right past his cheek.
