'''Dragonhawks''' are vicious flying predators. They are swift and deft, able to crack bones and pierce hides with their mighty beaked jaws. They can be trained as aerial mounts and seem to have a particular affinity with high elves (and now blood elves), and are often trained by them. Majestic and magnificent creatures, dragonhawks and their elf riders, resplendent in lacquered dragonhide armor, make an impressive sight.
 
 
This large raptor could carry away a man - on its back, or in its talons. Its beak gleams wickedly, but its feathers are unremarkable but for hints of blue and red at the neck and wing. These large, hawk-like creatures are impressive. Its feathers are show brilliant streaks of color on its wings and tail, but its most remarkable feature is its head, which seems like a combination of eagle and dragon. Straight, colored horns that match its plumage sprout from the beast's head.
 
 
As their name implies, dragonhawks resemble a cross between a hawk and a dragon. They look much like large hawks with dragonlike heads and a few other draconic characteristics - long neck, sleek body and large wings. Dragonhawk plumage is brown with touches of blue and red.
 
 
Dragonhawks are able predators. They prefer diving attacks, snatching prey in their talons to devour at their leisure. When trained, they readily fight in tandem with a skilled rider.{{cite|LoC|190}}{{Cite|APG|205}}

Dragonhawks are a new species of animal featured in the [[Burning Crusade]] expansion. ([http://www.thottbot.com/beta?pet=Dragonhawk τ β]) They have been shown to be a new kind of [[Hunter]] [[pet]] that can be tamed in [[Eversong Woods]] area (level 1-10) of the [[Blood Elves]]. The dragonhawks found in Eversong are, unfortunately, [[caster stats]] pets that have lower armor, damage, and HP compared to their non-caster brethren. Much higher level ones (which are not casters) have also been spotted in [[Tempest Keep]] and [[Shadowmoon Valley]].

== As A [[Hunter]] Pet ==
 
* Have medium HP (+0%), low armor (+0%), and medium dps (+0%).
 
* Eats meat, fruit, and fish.
 
* Can learn [[Cower]], [[Growl]], [[Bite]], [[Dive]], and their unique skill, [[Fire Breath]]. Fire Breath creates a cone of fire to damage the foe over 2 seconds, and scales in damage with the level of the pet.
 
* Popular as a Eversong Woods/Outland novelty, the fact that the only low-level ones are also caster pets is somewhat discouraging however do not be alarmed They actually have more Stam and Strength then what you might see they are not really casters. Their Fire Breath attack can also break crowd control if not used carefully. Commonly used by blood elf hunters as one of their first pets.
