Izarian Raptor Bird

A non-sapient avian, native to planet Izar. As the name suggests, it is an analogue to Terran birds-of-prey, the closest Izar’s fauna comes to an Earth raptor. There are several major differences in lifestyle, though, chief among them the Izarian raptor bird’s preference for carrion. It is predominantly a scavenging animal, feeding on the carcasses of the dead. In other words, it is more the equivalent of vulture than hawk. Indeed, Izarians often use the bird metaphorically in a manner similar to the Terran use of “vulture”. Izar native Domenica Corsi compared "Benzev Kaz" to an Izarian raptor bird when the businessman attempted to purchase the family's freighting company shortly after the presumed death of Corsi's father.
