letter z of gor

Zad: The Gorean zad is a scavenger bird, found in both the Tahari desert and the jungles of Schendi. The zad is broad-winged, black and white with a long, slightly hooked yellowish beak. They are well known for tearing out the eyes of a weakened victim, thereby guaranteeing the victim will die.

Zadit: The zadit is a small, brownish-feathered, sharp-billed bird of the Tahari. The zadit is particularly fond of the flies and flying insects of the desert. They will follow the swarms of flies, which tend to infest animals, clearing the insects from the hides of the beasts.
