Hurrok

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hurroks are a fictional creation of Tamora Pierce and appear in many of her works that are set in the Tortall Universe, most notably, The Immortals Quartet.

[edit] Description

Hurroks are generally described as winged horses similar to a pegasus, but with claws instead of hooves and the eyes and teeth of a predator. Their name is believed to have originated in the slurring of the words 'horse-hawk'.

No specific Hurrok characters appear in any of The Immortals books, but unnamed Hurroks attack Daine and Numair on several occasions.
