Coyote Hawk
Evolved from D. volturcephalus. Due to competition with their own kind and Cat Hawks. Coyote hawks(D.coyotus) had observed badger birds(A. asvocephelus) successfully flushing small wyverns out of their burrows but failing to catch them afterwards, and so took advantage of it to steal an easy meal--and leave scraps for the badger bird. This make them learned to follow the badger so it can take failed hunts from them They hunt by taking advantage of badger birds to dig and chase of the burrowing species off their burrows when they failed their hunt. When a badger bird chases off a prey item and failed their hunt. they would quickly snatch it with their claws or bite it down to kill it stealing the meal and its leftovers fed by the badger birds. By taking advantage of the the badger bird it preys on the sand wyvern (D.ammotryponus) and the mouse wyvern(D. ponticius).In the absence of these, it may try to hunt other small creatures, but for the most part it will just scavenge for carcasses.
They grow up to 1.5 feet tall at the hip, and it is about 3 feet long from nose to tail. It has a wingspan of about 7.5 feet( they got slightly smaller because of the smaller prey they are eating).
Coyote hawks have a mane of brightly red colored feathers with black tips running down its neck, and it has a fatty dewlap on its throat. These are used in its mating dances; in the case of the dewlap, its size and fattiness is an indicator of health, so the bigger and jigglier, the better. It partially buries 2-4 eggs in the sand and guards them until they hatch, which takes 4-5 weeks. The parents raise the semi-altricial young together, bringing them food by day and warming them at night with their wings, until they are around 2-3 months old and can hunt for themselves.
