The peckerel is a large navy-blue bird with a long neck and a sharp beak.
Peckerels are tall flightless birds like ostriches or emus with dark teal plumage and serpentine heads. They have lighter teal undersides and a long thin tail ending in a sharp point. Their tails are coated with a toxin that they use to paralyse their victims and they can even instantly kill them with Assassin's Stab.
