Poison Ostrich
A pink, fur-covered, beaked creature that stood on two tall legs. Poison ostriches were peculiar creatures. Not quite birds, but also not your everyday mammal. They roamed the dusty landscape of the Dawn Wastelands, feeding on what little plant life there was.
Poison Ostriches were fast moving, and fled on sight. However, if they ended up in a cornered situation, poison ostriches would spit a glob of dark green slime from their beaks. This poisonous slime began to vaporize the moment it was exposed to air, creating toxic vapours. The vapour produced was usually not lethal, but breathing it could cause major irritation to the lungs--which was enough to grant the poison ostrich an opportunity to escape.
Poison ostriches were native to Dawn Isle even before the Vile Comet transformed it into a wretched wasteland. The enormous decline in vegetation caused the species to begin spiraling towards extinction.
