WORKING ON IT The aerial bombers and recon of the demon lord Bookbakoook the Mother Clucker, stormcockerels are unique among the chicken-flavored demonfolk in that they are actually compitent flyers, their short useless wings flapping and somehow managing to keep them afloat. They fly over the enemy, laying down suppressive fire without care of non-chicken creatures below (and sometimes, not even then). They are Bookbakoooks eyes and ears, spotting everything and gossiping, reporting it back to their infernal mistress.

Stormcockerel are dog-sized chickens black as night with glowing red eyes and the smell of ozone and fried chicken. As their feathers brush against each other electrical sparks crackle over their terrible form, and their beak is slightly curved like a bird of prey. In spite of the "cockerel" name, they are actually hens like the rest of Bookbakoook's minions. They are arrogant and quick to change their emotions, all which are dialed to 11 and stuck. Some have wondered why Pazuzu, the self proclaimed lord of every fiendish avian, does not bother to claim ownership of these feathered fowls. Some suggest that the demon lord wants nothing to do with the rediculous sight of evil chickens, but Bookbakoook would claim it as a show of her power to resist the demon lord's control. Pazuzu was not available for comment.

Stormcockerel speak Abyssal and Auran, and the language of chickens and other domesticated birds. Most don't hear it, most of their time spent clucking in furious anger.

Combat

Death Throes (Su):

Demon Fork (Ex): All minions of Bookbakoook possess a special trident called a demon fork. It has the damage and reach of a +2 Distance Instant Recall trident of a creature one size catagory larger, and is a finessable weapon. This, combined with it's Far Shot feat, gives it a throwing range increment of 40 feet. In the hands of other creatures, they are simply medium sized tridents. Stormcockerels somehow manipulate these weapons with their wings in spite of lacking hands, and can tuck it away hidden with a +20 search check to find when sheathed.

Disease (Su):

Fiendish Down (Sp):

Filthy (Ex):

Improved Grab (Ex):

Headless (Ex): Stormcockerels are hard to keep dead. They can live without their head for 1d10 days, though they are blind and they become mindless creatures during this time (rending them immune to mind-affecting effects). This renders them partly immune to the vorpal weapon enhancement... at least for a short time.

Regeneration (Ex): Rotthen regeneration is bypassed by good and fire damage.

Spell-Like Abilities (Sp):

Spore (Ex):
