War-mothers ride all manner of creatures, their bravery and power evident and exalted by the monstrous creatures they ride. The Tyrant Sauron is the apex predator of the desert, an excellent banner holder of the Triumvirate.

Skywing

Despite their similarities to birds, the only saurid which is actually capable of flight is the skywing, whose front claws have long skin flaps like those of a bat, allowing it to stay airborne most of its life. Skywings are large enough to carry a tall orc standing on their back in flight, which is exactly what they do as part of the obakkar air force. In the wild, they like to snatch prey from the ground or shallow waters, and carry it again to the sky to devour mid-flight.
