Monstrosity #149 - Celestial Strike

Eternally flying, this Monstrosity only touches the earth to feed. Although Monstrosity #149 appears to have an unorthodox body for continuous flight, it is able to maintain its circuit through the stratosphere with relative ease due to an internal chemical reaction which creates buoyancy. When feeding, it will also ingest bits of dirt and rock—limestone has the most lasting effects. The concoction of meat from prey, bits of the earth, and the enzymes within its multiple stomachs cause gas allowing it to float for weeks on end. When engaged, Monstrosity #149 drops from the sky much like a peregrine falcon, rattling its victims with an abrupt attack. It will then beat its prey's spine with clawed stumps to ensure living yet docile quarry as it feeds. This Monstrosity's diet consists mainly of mountain animals such as rams, mountain goats, bears, cougars and the like. It's known to attack human climbers and hikers as well.
