A thunderbird is a giant eagle, with horns and teeth.

Two of the thunderbird's molars are actually blue gems.

Thunderbirds are quite smart, but can only speak Bird languages.

The thunderbird has one "hand", its beak, and deals 1d6+9 damage with unarmed attacks it makes with that "hand" (Muscle included).

At the end of the thunderbird's turn, if it's in flight, the flapping of its wings makes an extremely loud noise, attacking the AD of all other creatures and unattended objects in a 50 meter blast for 1d6+7 Noise damage (Muscle included). The flapping can be heard from up to 5000 meters away.

Advancement

Lightning Eyes (75 points): The Thunderbird gains two Loud Lightning Bolt weapons which have a range of 40m/80m and deal 1d6+1 Electricity damage (Magic Power included). It can wield these weapons in addition to anything else it wields, with no additional penalty. Whenever the Thunderbird successfully inflicts one or more wounds with a Lightning Bolt weapon, it may make another Lightning Bolt attack for free (this can trigger itself). Its movement speeds increase by 15 meters. The Thunderbird gains an Advanced Specialty.

Raiju (75 points): The Thunderbird's Lightning Bolt weapons get +20m/+60m to range. As a standard action, it can shrink itself down to a 2 centimeter wide, 0.1 kilogram sphere. While in this shrunken state, it is paralyzed, and returning to full size takes 2 rounds of purely mental concentration. The Thunderbird gains an Advanced Specialty.

Stymphalian Wings (75 points): The Thunderbird's feathers become sharp and metallic. It gains a Heavy Piercing attack that targets all creatures and unattended objects in a 90 degree, 120 meter arc spray for 1d6+7 Physical damage (Muscle included). The Thunderbird's fly speed increases by 30 meters, but its aerobatics distance increases by 4 meters. The Thunderbird gains an Advanced Specialty.
