In the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game, the blood hawk is a magical beast.

Ecology

Environment

Blood hawks dwell in forests, hills, mountains and plains.

Typical physical characteristics

Blood hawks closely resemble normal hawks, but stronger and more aggressive, and with a love for the taste of human flesh. All but the tip of their beak, and a small area around their eye, is orange and bare.

Alignment

Blood hawks are netural in alignment.

Society

Blood hawks are either solitary, or travel in murders of 3 to 12 individuals.

Creative origins

The blood hawk has appeared in several sourcebooks throughout editions of the game: 3E Fiend Folio, Tome of Horrors, 1E Fiend Folio, Monstrous Compendium Volume 2, Ultimate Monsters, and the Monstrous Manual. There have been a few differences between sourcebooks; in Tome of Horrors blood hawks are listed as aberrations and not magical beasts, while the 3E Fiend Folio lists them as size small and Ultimate Monsters lists them as tiny. In 5th edition, the SRD5 and Monster Manual lists them as small beasts.[1][2]
