A thunderbird is a giant eagle, with horns and teeth. It has one "hand", its beak, and deals +4 damage with [[unarmed]] attacks it makes with that "hand". At the end of the Thunderbird's turn, if it's in flight, the flapping of its wings makes an extremely loud noise, attacking all other creatures and objects in a 150 meter [[blast]] for 1d6+2 Noise damage. Any other attack the thunderbird makes deals +2 damage, and it gets [[Demolition]] +2.
