Form
Feathered raptor, membrane glide-wings
Quilled crest and scaled hide over a dromaeosaur frame; the wings are skin, not feather — built to ride lift, not to flap for it.

Stryker
Igzier’s Raptor & Sky-Bond
Stryker defines the aerial threat model of the region. It is not a beast Igzier owns — it is a system he is wired into. A feathered raptor with skin-stretched glide-wings, Stryker reads the thermals the way the city reads its ledgers, and strikes in the seams between them.
Field Codex
Recovered specimen studies — head, talon, perched and gliding forms — drawn in the old Cambrian hand.
Hunting
Thermal-timed ambush
Attack windows align with the day’s thermal shifts. Settlements that ignore the wind clock pay for it.
Bond
Single-human sky-bond
Stryker neurologically pairs with one rider. Igzier is that rider. The pairing is not loyalty — it is wiring.
Bond-Pull
Shared edge, shared cost
Caged or separated, the bond-pull blurs edges and tugs the body off center — for both of them.
Bond-Sickness
“A caged Stryker above the terraces is a live wire in the wind. The bond-pull blurs edges and tugs the body off center.”
