A gakark (pronounced gah-KARK), also known as a ga-karaka (pronounced GAH-kah-RAH-kah), is a type of large flightless bird found in the Wounds. Though native to, and originally only found within, the Angry Kings, their popularity amongst the dwarves of Harv Taruhm has led to the establishment of a large population of the birds on the Grievous Islands as well.
A fully grown gakark can reach 12 feet tall, though much if that is accounted for by their long necks.
