Vulpoons
Vulpoons were scraggly Deepwoods birds of prey with sharp, curved, serrated beaks. Despite those birds being scavengers and not considered very noble creatures, there were sky pirate captains like Deadbolt Vulpoon who chose this bird to be their name.
There was a dead vulpoon hanging over the door of the School of Potions and Poisons in Sanctaphrax[1][2]. Landris Bellwether kept a vulpoon as a pet and named him Thunderbolt[3].
Behind the scenes
In a Facebook post, Paul Stewart shared more information on sky wrecks and their inhabitants:
"A pair of nesting vulpoons, vicious birds of prey, often found in skyship wrecks where they feed off the ratbird population. On larger, more established wrecks, these predators can grow to a monstrous size, particularly in the absence of wreck demons as competition." [4]
