26. Stymphalian birds
These birbs should be recognizable to anyone interested in Greek mythology as they were some of the many creatures neutralized by the legendary Herakles in his Twelve Labours. They looked like large ibises and much like them roosted in wetlands, hunting humans with their bronze beaks and dagger-sharp feathers that they would discharge at their prey.
Many real-life species of ibis do have pointed crests at their heads and necks so that was a great source of inspiration!
