Sarimanuhan -dire beast

Description

This is the dire beast form of the Sarimanukori shifters (sing. Sarimanuhan) a Phillipine based species of chicken shifters that have four forms, human, throwback, direbeast and chicken.
This mansized bird is a mix of the Phillipine native chicken and the extinct Gastornis bird of the Eocene and is mostly used for brutal killing. These beings are partially based on the legendary Sarimanok bird.
Despite this being such a simple design it actually took me some time to get to it. I actually wanted to base it on raptor dinosaurs and light footed ostriches until I realized that there already is a design for a similarly heavy and strong bird: the gastornis from Walking with Beasts.

The Throwback form can be seen here: fav.me/d6rjoqe
