Hurrok

A hurrok was her next target; once more she went for eyes first, then wings. ❋ Tamora Pierce (1996)

Daine picked up Jelly “You were brave to jump off that hurrok,” she told it gently. ❋ Tamora Pierce (1996)

Carefully, she turned over, tracking the hurrok with her blood on his talons; correcting for wind, she loosed. ❋ Tamora Pierce (1996)

“And you abandoned the hurrok when you saw I had Gold-streak?” ❋ Tamora Pierce (1996)

The darking that had deserted the hurrok remained inside her shirt, clinging to her waist, enduring without complaint the cold water that dripped onto it. ❋ Tamora Pierce (1996)

Daine shot straight at the ax-bearing ape, striking him as the hurrok had struck her on the First Bridge, dragging her claws across his brow and scalp. ❋ Tamora Pierce (1996)

The last hurrok, screaming its rage, plunged toward Daine, claws outstretched. ❋ Tamora Pierce (1996)

Silver fire overtook the hurrok farthest from her. ❋ Tamora Pierce (1996)

The archers on the walls shot as rapidly as they could, choosing ape, hurrok, and Stormwing targets with deadly accuracy as they fought Stormwing terror. ❋ Tamora Pierce (1996)

She was nearly positive that the third—the plain, shivering one—was the darking that had dropped from the hurrok. ❋ Tamora Pierce (1996)
