Bring a touch of prehistoric peril to your table with this Terror Bird Chick. Standing with a determined, oversized beak and downy feathers, this miniature perfectly captures the awkward yet dangerous nature of a legendary predator's offspring. Whether as a target for a capture mission or a surprising nest encounter, this highly detailed chick adds life to any wilderness setting.
A juvenile terror bird trotting through the undergrowth, perhaps following a parent or searching for small prey.
Best used as a non-combatant environmental detail, a creature to be rescued/captured, or as part of a high-action 'nest defense' encounter where dozens of chicks swarm the players while a parent bird attacks.
