| The monster shrieked an ear-splitting scream and stepped through the flames, reaching for Quen with its taloned paw. |
| His great hands lay upon his lap, palms upward, taloned fingers spread and grasping. |
| It was carrying in its taloned claws something that looked like a small monkey. |
| She grasped the eagle's taloned legs in one hand and cradled the bird against her belly. |
| Death reached up into the sky, plucking with taloned fingers for the black vultures racing with the wind. |
| Then, even if they did not fall to some fanged or taloned prowler, they'd starve. |
