Mountain Hawk
Level 6 Wildlife · Eagle Pass
Mountain Hawk is a level 6 wildlife found in the Sangre Territory of Desperados Destiny.
Field notes
An enormous hawk that has nested in the cliff face above the pass, dwarfing the eagles the Nahi scouts watch. It dives with enough force to knock a rider from their horse.
What you are walking into
Mountain Hawk is level 6, carries 45 health, and is classed Stalker. That makes it a mid-low threat for a character finding their feet. It fights by attrition — damage that keeps working after the hand is played, so a long fight favours it rather than you. Every exchange resolves through the Destiny Deck: you draw five cards, choose what to hold, and the resulting poker hand decides how the action lands. Suit matches amplify the result, so the same fight against Mountain Hawk plays out differently each time you take it on.
Where to find Mountain Hawk
Mountain Hawk is encountered at Eagle Pass. You will need to have discovered and travelled to that location before it can appear as a target, and travel between regions carries its own risks — routes are rolled for interception, and a bad roll puts an encounter between you and your destination.
What it drops
A kill pays 95 experience and between $3 and $6. Its loot table can yield Eagle Feathers and Talons. Drops are rolled per kill, so a full set takes repeat hunting. The first time you kill any species it is also recorded in your Field Guide, which pays a large one-off experience bonus and counts toward the Guide's completion milestones.
