| Feature | Plains dwellers that move in packs. They use their arrow-like crests to coordinate movements and alert each other to threats. Since they stand their crests up when people and monsters draw near, that gesture is believed to indicate danger. Windrustlers have been sighted in Kunafa, a sign that they have learned two things: people aren't always a threat...and where there's people, there's food. |
