Academically, sometimes called a Lesser Aquilon, the Áccelon is a creature of great cultural importance to the elves of the far east. The creature's form is that of a very large falcon-like fowl (ác- + celon, "great falcon"), taller than a man when standing upright. Its feathers form a thick mane around its head and neck. This creature is tamed and ridden short distances on hunts by certain clans of eastern elves. They are somewhat intelligent, and have astutely keen eyesight, but their hearing is fine-tuned as well. Even when wearing leather roosting-hoods, Áccela may lash out with beak or claw with surprising accuracy.
