Virtuosic Lyrebird
Bred as a spellcasting aid and now feral, this mimicking bird disrupts any spellcaster within earshot with a jarring counter-melody.
Virtuosic lyrebirds present an excellent case study in how specialty-bred animals can escape captivity and become pests. A small team of apprentice mages established the original virtuosic lyrebirds as part of their graduation thesis, in an attempt to create a familiar that could better aid in spellcasting. Now wild, the birds disrupt any spellcaster within earshot.
