Description:

The Anka is one of the largest known birds living in Elysia. Some have been captured and tamed for their transportation capabilities but there are few in known existence. Most of the small population dwell on arctic lands such as the Ceracen Islands, though they have been spotted travelling the Ao coast.

With a wingspan of seventy feet, the bird's massive size easily allows it to lift a full-grown elephant or simply carry a person or two upon its back. It can reach speeds of up to two hundred miles per hour, although it is considerably slower with cargo. Its eyes are a crystal blue, allowing sight miles ahead and making it the perfect hunter yet it is relatively passive and only attacks humanoids when provoked. This great white bird can be easily spotted and is fairly simple to take down.

Once on the ground, however, its talon and beak are vicious.

Abilities:

Anka can lift the weight of a full grown elephant and fly up to two hundred miles per hour.

Weaknesses:

Their large size takes a lot of energy to lift from the ground as well as maneuver in the air.
