AUGUREY (also known as Irish Phoenix)
M.O.M Classification: XX
The Augurey is a native of Britain and Ireland, though sometimes found elsewhere in northern Europe… once believed to foretell death… Patient research eventually revealed, however, that the Augurey merely sings at the approach of rain.

Well, this got out of hand a bit O_o
This challenge was a bit more up my street than the last I have to say.
But when I saw it I immediately ran to my copy of Beasts to do some – ahem – research. I’ve got a soft spot for the Augurey, the OC I used to RP as having one as a pet. They’re also Irish and described as Vulture like, an animal I will always associate with my foundation. There really was no choice in the matter!
