This creature at first seems like a fairly large fox, but as it leaps into the air, it becomes immediately obvious this creature is different. Its front paw are clawed like a hawk’s legs and it has feathered, hawk-like wings extending out from those arms. It also has feathers that protrude dorsally along its body from behind its head all the way down its tail.

The enfield is an elusive creature. They are akin to griffons or hippogriffs in that they seem to be an amalgam of two creatures. In this case it is an amalgam of a fox and a hawk. They make nests underground like their fox “cousins” but hunt by soaring up and searching for their prey, usually small forest animals. They typically shy away from larger creatures in their territory but will attack in defense of their burrows. Enfield chicks are born from eggs lain within their burrows. Their eggs are worth 2,000 gp to particular buyers and their live young are worth twice that. It should be noted that like griffons, the buying and selling or forcibly domesticating intelligent creatures like enfields is recognized as slavery by most. Winning the allegiance of the flighty and elusive enfield is no easy task but it is a much more sure way to gain an ally.
