Stymphalian
Name: Stymphalian
Classification: Creature, Monster
Level: Infant [0] Adult [7-10]
Habitat: Dark forest and jungle, including the more overgrown areas of Chandric Forest and Yondallar Rainforest
Lifespan: 17-19 years
Uses:
- Stymphalian feathers, as heavy as they are, can be worked into armour and weapons that prove invaluable with their supreme defense and attack qualities. Unfortunately, the feathers also make these items so heavy they're unusable, so you'll likely need griffin feathers too.
Player:
The Aides play stymphalian on the Sentients account.
Description: Stymphalian birds are an oddity even by Elysian standards and it's unclear how they came into existence. So far, the best guess has been that Xanth was bored one day, but that theory is unproven.
Their feathers are metallic which makes them very sharp and gives the birds extreme defensive capabilities. Anyone coming in contact with a Stymphalian would be speared to death in short order. They roost in dark forests and jungles, ones often inhabited by other scary creatures, but their feathers are so heavy they can't actually fly. Their only weak spot is the neck, as everywhere else is covered by metal feathers.
Abilities: Stymphalian feathers are made of sharp but heavy metal.
Weaknesses: The only weak spot in the stymphalian's body is the neck.
