Abilities: The Forktail is a beast that many have come to fear, as it is a predator perfectly suited to the habituates it inhabits. Its long hooked claws and powerful limbs enable it to climb both threes and crags with equal ease and with rather remarkable speed. The creatures long forked tail allows it to keep its balance in most if not all situations and it is often used as a rudder to help its self self steer as it runs headlong at its prey. These tails can also be used in combat, the long whip like appendages are easily able to flay skin with a well placed smack. This combined with its maw of razor sharp teeth, claws and ineradicable running speed would make it a rather daunting foe in and of its self, but thanks to the harsh and treacherous climate it lives in the Forktail has developed a remarkably strong hide that's more then able to turn aside low caliber bullets and the claws and fangs of most other lesser demons.

Miscellaneous Notes: - Lays eggs in clutches
- Like the Komodo Dragon of Earth, the Forktail does not need a mate to create genetically diverse offspring
- At a dead sprint, the Forktail can reach speeds of up to 70 KPH though it is only able to maintain this speed in short spurts.
- Ambushes its prey when possible, often dropping down on the unsuspecting creatures it has its eyes set on.
- Has the intelligence of a rather smart 3 year old human and can comprehend simple words and concepts
