Alecs are highly intelligent and aggressive creatures. They are about the size of the average juvenile wyvern. ( were talking about the size of a Clydesdale) the two, long feather hanging down from its head are actually feelers. If one can successfully become dominant over the alec. You can use these feelers to control and potentially ride the Alec. Alecs are very loyal to there rider. Some would even protect there rider from something twice its size. Only the natives around the area, ( the shadows), would know what to do about a sudden Alec breeding session in there town or village.
