Death Rite Bird
Death Rite Birds are huge, rotting birds covered in ghostflame, much bigger and nastier than the Deathbirds you meet early on. They appear only at night, often dropping out of a giant ball of ghostflame in the sky.
The first one many players meet haunts Academy Gate Town in Liurnia of the Lakes. Others wait in Caelid, the Mountaintops of the Giants and the Consecrated Snowfield.
