Stormwing

They live on the battlefield, desecrating bodies by eating them, fouling them, and scattering the pieces. Created from the imagination of a traveller, who, when passing by a battlefield, wished for a way to keep people from saying how glorious war and a warrior's death is. The result was stormwings.
They have a human head and chest with a bird's legs and wings. The feathers, however, are metallic and sharp as steel. Their claws are silver, marking them as immortals.
