# Quillblade Goose ___ ___ *FEARED IS THE SOUND OF ITS MIGHTY HONK.* ___

**Habitat:** Forest, Ruins, Temple, Graveyard; **Treasure:** Quillblade, Feather Token, Goose Egg Trinket.

___ While Giant Geese aren’t entirely uncommon in the Material Plane, this particular specimen is fully unique to the Feywild, standing guard in areas that it seems to deem sacred. How it came into the named magical artifact or acquired such battle prowess is unknown, but legends tell that many a trespasser has fallen to the blade it wields on its beak.
