Amphipteres

During the Crystal War, these demonic dragonlike creatures were occasionally seen flying high over the Northlands. Such high-flying creatures may have seemed innocent enough, but for the unwary adventurer, getting too close to one meant almost certain death unless traveling with a number of companions.

Fleet in flight but slow on foot, these creatures are, sadly, extinct. With valuable hides (which can be made into leather), claws and whiskers, those looking to make some quick gil hunted these glorious (and deadly) monsters to extinction.
