Avian Thorntail

The thorntails are the core ranged infantry of the avians, acting mostly as scouts. Equipped lightly, the thorntails soar the skies for prolonged periods to scout the lands ahead. They jeer and harass enemy infantries with a flurry of arrows from their shortbows. Staying most of the time in the sky, they avert the dangers of close quarter combat - leaving most enemies to only curse or throw rocks at them, or return fire the help of a bow. Considered by many to be simple nuisances, these scouts cannot be taken lightly when they surround a helpless infantry. Pulled to the ground however, they are usually helpless.
