"Aren’t you lovely?" Grappling Hook - PHIGHTING

World building: Lost Temple is a hot, dry desert that was once home to a bustling city full of thousands of inhabitants. Ten years prior to the events of the Inpherno's history, this city was burnt to the ground in the Scorch, and the lasting effects thereof now serves to divide the remaining populace. Most inphernals that did not leave Lost Temple for other regions would end up joining either the Redcliff Wranglers or The Church of the TRUE EYE.

The temperatures of Lost Temple are unbearable to non-natives, and even those native to Lost Temple can find the environment unpleasant. Fashion in Lost Temple can be varied, but ponchos, scarves, bandanas, and cowboy hats are common fixtures of an inphernal's wardrobe. Those who live out in the desert plains tend to live in tents and sleep on hammocks.

Info on Oziphrages: Oziphrages, also known as "burrowing vultures" or simply "vultures", are large carnivorous flying birds that are native to Lost Temple. They closely resemble bearded vultures of the real world, but are much larger in stature and easily tower over inphernals.

Denizens of Lost Temple, particularly the Redcliff Wranglers, keep oziphrages for their utility as transport and companionship. While they are docile to particular inphernals, such as Tarantula, they can be predatory and violent towards individuals less confident around carnivorous birds. Oziphrages prefer to eat inphernals, but will eat ambiguously sourced rotten flesh all the same.

Oziphrages predominately feature brown and orange plumage, with white faces, white primary feathers, and dark brown beaks, but can also come in other shades.
