Pterosaur

Source Monster Core pg. 278
Pterosaurs are primitive flying creatures. While many are smaller than a human or even small enough to perch on a shoulder, the two presented below are quite a bit larger. Each of these creatures could pose a serious threat to a person.

These flying reptiles can be found in a wide selection of regions, but they tend to soar above warm or temperate climates. They sometimes spread outside their natural range as pets and hunting companions for lizardfolk or giants. Cloud giants living in isolated valleys also train the largest pterosaurs to carry their messages to the outside world.
