Enhanced Senses (Sight & Smell), Leaping Ability (can leap 6’ up or 12’ long).Desc : These two-legged flightless avians are named for their incessant hopping, a tactic they have developed to better scan their surroundings for predators hiding in the tall grasses. Bounders have learned an even more unusual survival tactic. When chased, these birds use their superior speed to lead their pursuers toward less-swift prey. Beings sighting Bounders running in their direction should be ready for action. Though swift, Bounders are sometimes caught by humanoids, and are said to be quite tasty. Some say that the animal's attraction to bright reflections, useful to them when locating pools of water in the open, can be used to trick the creatures into traps.
