Summary
Arrowhawks were four-winged birds of prey from the Elemental Plane of Air, and were well-known for their ability to fly and levitate indefinitely from the second they were born. Their striking blue plumage was in fact scales developed for protection.
Their physiology has adjusted itself so the Arrowhawk can twist its body easily to adjust direction without losing any speed.
