__NOTOC__


With the head of a horned dog, the body of a lion, and the talons and wings of a bird of prey, the Anzu is a terrifying sight to behold. The Anzu is a reclusive creature that typically lurks near points of planar power, where a creature might travel from one plane to another. The Anzu seems to feed off of this ambient magical energy. Although they cannot speak, Anzu are believed to hold [[divine]] insight and an understanding of things unknown.

Capable of exhaling bouts of flame and spouts of water, the Anzu seems to be an incarnation of that which mortals need to survive: water to nourish, fire to warm, and ultimately, knowledge to transcend. Though not innately aggressive, Anzu can be vicious if threatened or if they believe that a malevolent entity seeks to use their planar [[portal]] to nefarious ends.
