Terrorbirds

Image Name Requirements Misc. Information
width=82x82 Terrorbird
  • Partial completion of Icthlarin's Little Helper
  • The Wild Hunt
The nature spirits of Ashenfall serve a purpose, one denied to them by the encroaching Wither. It may seem counterintuitive to have to slay these spirits in order to bind them, but that's what nature is. It's hunt and be hunted. Kill and be killed, life is a perpetual cycle - Everything chained together.
  • This variant is automatically unlocked when completing The Wild Hunt.
width=82x82 Dragonwilds:Infernal Blightbeak This Breed of terrorbird was the bane of most normal human residents. They would raid farms, culling livestock and devouring grain. They would storm through settlements, smashing to pieces anything within their reach. Only the Dragonwilds:Black Knights of Dragonwilds:Dowdun Reach had any success in training them, and only such madmen would even try to.
width=82x82 Dragonwilds:Crimson Crybaby
  • The Wild Hunt
  • Partial completion of Icthlarin's Little Helper
A breed created by a Zamorakian priest who found them far less terrifying than he had hoped. Instead of bringing fear to the masses, these terrorbirds would whimper and sob whenever forced to do any manual labour. He named the breed "crybaby" in frustration, though it remains disappointingly apt.
width=82x82 Dragonwilds:Mossbeak HunterTemplate:Sic While many terrorbirds were bred for speed, the Mossbeak Hunter was bred to pursue. Dragonwilds:Wild Knights wouldTemplate:Sic raise them to chase down dangerous prey, tiring their quarry our from their terrorbird's almost limitless stamina.
width=82x82 Dragonwilds:Springdown Runner
  • The Wild Hunt
The Springdown Runner was bred for the races. It was quick, focused and not easily distracted by various tricks of the watching crowd. While nowadays there's less of that racing instinct, this breed of terrorbird still enjoys a good run around.
width=82x82 Dragonwilds:Grassfoot Screecher
  • The Wild Hunt
Druids in Dragonwilds:Brynmoor would rear these birds not as mounts, but as guard dogs for their sacred sites. The terrorbirds were raised to be quick, silent and merciless in their defence of the groves.
width=82x82 Dragonwilds:Leafwood Strider
  • The Wild Hunt
width=82x82 Dragonwilds:Oakfeather Raptor A green-feathered variant of the terrorbird, popular with the Wild Knights back in the earliest days of Bramblemead. They would raise the raptor from the moment they hatched, so that the bird could imprint on the knight and create a bond of loyalty unlike any other.
width=82x82 Dragonwilds:Coastal Sunbeak Raised along the beaches and coastal regions, the Sunbeak is a colourful terrorbird variant who enjoyed a more fish heavy diet then most.
width=82x82 Dragonwilds:Summerbellied Wagtail
  • The Wild Hunt
  • Partial completion of Black Knight's Fortress
This friendly breed of terrorbird is so named because they wag their tails in the presence of their handlers. They delight in playful displays of affection, such as jumping up and down, or attempting to chew someone's face off. Oh, how sweet.
width=82x82 Dragonwilds:Eclipseborn Sharpbeak
  • The Wild Hunt
  • Partial completion of Black Knight's Fortress
Legends says that this breed of terrorbird appears only during a solar eclipse. They are said to possess magical powers; the exact nature of which varies with each telling. In truth, they can hatch just like any terrorbird does and possess no knownTemplate:Sic metaphysical capabilities.
width=82x82 Dragonwilds:Sunkissed Clawfoot
  • The Wild Hunt
  • Partial completion of Black Knight's Fortress
These bright yellow creatures love nothing more than ferreting out strange green herbs with their sharp claws. They enjoy running around plains, making screeching noises.
width=82x82 Dragonwilds:Astralbeak Warbler Named after the Stars, rather than the Dragonwilds:runes, the Astralbeak WarblerTemplate:Sic is a strange beast. On nights where the sky is clear and the moon absent, this breed of terrorbird loves nothing more than to raise its head to the heavens and warble strangely haunting melodies.
width=82x82 Dragonwilds:Zamorakian Pledgesaddle Popular with the Black Knights of Dowdun Reach due to the dark and sinister colour schemes. Many of the knights would ride into battles atop these creatures, screaming about the power of chaos as they went.
width=82x82 Dragonwilds:Scorchsummer Ashbeak
  • The Wild Hunt
  • Partial completion of Icthlarin's Little Helper
This breed is so named because the breeder's daughter thought they were sunburned when she first saw the chicks. Bright pink and screeching, she immediately put them in buckets of water, only to face the wrath of their mother.
width=82x82 Dragonwilds:Applefeather Mosstail
  • The Wild Hunt
  • Partial completion of Icthlarin's Little Helper
This brightly coloured breed of terrorbird gets its name from the apple orchard where the breed was first reared. The owner of the orchard had little imagination for colour combination, so when he saw red and green together the only thing that came to mind were the apples right in front of him. This is in no way similar to the naming process used by the narrative designers.


Magic Carpets

Image Name Requirements Misc. Information
width=82x82 Magic Carpet

width=82x82 Dragonwilds:Uzzerian Umber
  • Partial completion of Icthlarin's Little Helper
The light umber tone is handcrafted by Uzzer children as part of their daily lessons. The youngsters gather round and work together to weave the complicated pattern throughout the tapestry as a means of teaching them patience as well as some useful life skills. If you look very carefully, you can see where the garou cubs have found clever ways to sneakily weave in swear words, personal symbols and odd little doodles to amuse themselves. This way, each of the carpets is unique, if not entirely desirable.
width=82x82 Dragonwilds:Manafem Midnight
  • Partial completion of Icthlarin's Little Helper
width=82x82 Scorchweave Rug
  • Partial completion of Icthlarin's Little Helper

Legends tells us that this carpet is woven from the silk of the moon spirits of the Umbral Sands. It is said that they create those silken threads only on clear nights when the moon is full and the stars look down and give them permission. These rare carpets, therefore, only appear in times of great peace and tranquility. Traits that the Umbral Sands have not seen in some time.

Trivia

  • The first rideable animal in the game being a Terrorbird is a nod to Template:RSL's (RS3) 2016 April Fools joke, when they released the Template:RSL.
  • The way the mount is summoned almost resembles the Template:RSL skill from RuneScape with differences being how they are summoned. In RuneScape, you would require materials to summon one, as RuneScape: Dragonwilds just required you to complete a quest.
  • The Magic Carpet description has a reference to the Disney movie Aladdin in it, referencing "a whole new world".
