Snipe

Called The king of Birds, a Snipe is a very powerful, bloodthirsty, Goliath sized bird used by the Alabastra Daily Delivery Divination. They are the result of years of careful pigeon breeding, a process started by the Mileena and taken up by her descendants.

Appearance
Snipes are large, sleek, and jet black from wingtip to wingtip. Their large powerful legs end in wicked talons and each one has a permanently angry look on it's face.

Personality
A Snipe will only form a bond with someone if believes it can trust, and will violently attack anyone else who tries to touch them without permission. They have nerves of steel and a violent dislike of everything and everyone around them.

Some have been know to dive-bomb and harass juvenile dragons.

Abilities
Snipes are able to cross the entire known world in just under six hours, their powerful wings and nearly unending stamina not only allowing them to fly nonstop, but turn and pull complicated maneuvers on a dime.
