Buzz Ard

buzz-ards · chainsaw buzz-ards · chainsaw birds

Chainsaw-wielding vulture mobs that nest on the necropolis and sever water lines — miniature versions of the boss bird Ruckus.

Story so far

The chainsaw buzz-ards are the recurring bird mobs of the fifth floor — miniature versions of the giant cyborg boss bird Ruckus (which gave Katia Grim her dangle-saw). Nesting in the flanks of the Necropolis of Anser, they wield chainsaws and have plagued the land quadrant, one memorably lopping the cap off the party's water main and blasting itself out of the sky in the process, sending water arcing into a rainbow that delights Mongo. A persistent nuisance to Firas and the pilots, they've grown rare in the days before Carl's return, most having vanished from their nests.

Appearance

Vulture-like birds wielding chainsaws or built-in saw blades, a scaled-down version of the towering cyborg boss bird.
