Multiple hits from a wounding weapon increase the bleed damage. Bleeding creatures take the bleed damage at the start of their turns. Bleeding can be stopped by a successful DC 15 Heal check or through the application of any spell that cures hit point damage. A critical hit does not multiply the bleed damage. Creatures immune to critical hits are immune to the bleed #### ecology **Terrain** Any forest, hill, plains, and mountains **Organization** Solitary or murder (3–12) **Treasure** 50% goods (gems only) **Advancement** 2–3 HD (Medium-size) Blood hawks are fierce, carnivorous predators. They pose a danger to any creature that wanders into the territory they claim as their own. They take joy in the hunt, and often a murder of blood hawks attacks even if all its members have fed well and recently. A blood hawk measures about 3 feet from the tip of its cruelly hooked beak to the end of its tail feathers, and an adult has a wingspan of roughly 7 feet. Its feathers are a dull gray color, and its eyes are the same bright red as the fresh blood the creature craves. Some experts believe that blood hawks are related to other birds of prey. However, their hunger for fresh flesh and blood is distinctly unlike more mundane aerial carnivores. ### Combat Blood hawks are nearly always encountered in large groups of hunting adults, although young adults are sometimes encountered alone if they have recently left the murder into which they were born. They attack almost anything living until slain themselves; once under the influence of blood lust, a blood hawk does not flee. The birds prefer the taste of human flesh to all others and tend to single out humans if confronted with a racially diverse group.
