Stymphalian birds are crane-like predators found in dense forests and lowland hills. They are voracious creatures that sustain themselves on a diet of livestock, cattle, and the like. A stymphalian bird has an ibis-like body. Unlike an ibis, however, the stymphalian bird’s beak is long and straight rather than curved. Its feathers, talons, and beak are made of bronze.
A typical stymphalian bird stands 7 feet tall and weighs 450 pounds.
