Alias: None
Origin: Yuvaar (coastal cliffs and inland forests)
The Goldenwing is an aggressive aerial predator of Yuvaar, with wingspans from 4 to 20 meters, using speed and grappling force to seize prey midair or pull larger animals to the ground with brutal accuracy. Nesting on cliff ledges and hunting across open forests, it rarely ventures beyond the coastline, its strikes stunning victims on impact. In the Yuvaari Hunting Games, it is foundational to the Ambusher class, with traditional beast hunts featuring Holders grappling it mid-flight or pinning it after descent—deadly encounters where falls and aerial collisions claim lives, but killing it is frowned upon as poor skill. A famous relay-broadcast feat shows a fighter leaping from a cliff to seize one barehanded, surviving the impact and fall, elevating the species to mythic status in Yuvaari martial tradition. The Bare Hand studied its dive-and-pin for infiltration. Territorial and solitary outside mating seasons, its population remains stable in protected nesting cliffs, ensuring the survival of Yuvaar's unarmed rituals and precise displays of strength.
