Ak-baba

Ak-Baba are a species of enormous vulture-like birds. They are known to be ferocious and violent creatures, eating dead flesh and living for a thousand years. Seven Ak-Baba were brought up by the Shadow Lord and are under his command. The Ak-Baba share a magical mental link with the Shadow Lord, allowing him to see what they see and give them orders from afar. They are among his most loyal and most powerful servants.
