Description

Mnnn what to say about this creatures, this section, describing the page instead of the creatures is after naming them the worst part of the work. You'll know what the page is about once the descriptions are written, so why bother?
So, yes, sacred birds
Sacred: is the state of sacred, that is, set apart for the worship or service of gods. It could also mean being set apart to pursue (or to already have achieved) a sacred state or goal,
Birds: are bipedal, endothermic (warm-blooded), vertebrate animals that lay eggs. There are around 10,000 living species, making them the most diverse tetrapod vertebrates
There. But this is the last time I do this.

744) Crown of light: There are four creatures of this page that are bringers of gifts from the divinity to an important king, in this case a bird with lion legs that grings a crown. In game they could be each the conclusion of an imprtant quest and at the same time part of a larger super-quest to get them all... wouldn't you like to know what happens then?

745) Sword of deliverance: A double headed horned eagle with hemnn a sword from which I already told you about...
Sorry, people, I'm not in the mood, but writing this is my responsability. But its true, there isn't much more to say about this bunch.

746) Chalice of life: A white raven with a lion's tail carring a chalice on its claws, I'v got no clue what that chalice does, It might be something related with the name I also made up a couple of seconds ago or it might not.

747) Läkningmoor: A kind of simurgh owith a wide knwoledge of medicina and healing herbs of pharmacologycal or magical use. It looks much like a wingless griffon with madicine hanging from its body...

748) Throne of judment: some of the drawings on this page got a little bit ... object-centric, but this one is the most objectcentric creature in the whole 1001. Some even fail to see the actual creature, the bird flyinga around the throne.

749) Ornothofelix venator: Good old binomial nomenclature, always there to save my day. The remaining creatures are simurghs or simugh derived creatures... which are also benevolent, this is the most standard carnivore-bird sort of think I could think of that wasn't a griffon.

750) Simurgh: Yaaay!, the good think about this creature has nothing to do with it, but if you think about it, this is the number 750)! that means only a quarter of the creatures are left... what is still quite a lot of monsters. So this is the most evil looking creatue of the whole page, but also the one that better fits the original depictions.

751) Wanderer: This one is quite strange, like.. I believe is the last I drew or something like that and I was already short of ideas, but some depictions do have that weird tongue... or something like that, I think it might be fire too, thats why I added some firebreath to the previous one.

752) Garden panther: I thoght of this creature as an exotic pet for a middle east king or something like that. It would be black, golden and purple.
