The Mystaran Giant Magpie is a notorious thief, as the birds are attracted to shiny things. The Giant Magpie measures about 3 feet long from beak to tail. And, its body and tail are often black (with blue, green and lavender highlights). In every case, the Magpie's shoulders and belly are white.

Skills: The Mystaran Magpie has a +5 racial bonus to Pick Pockets.
