-Rhea are hunted for their meat, which is less fatty that other bird meats.  Feathers from the rhea have been worn by numerous tribes and have been transported to Europe for the making of clothing and hats.  Rhea skin, which has a distinctive, pebbly surface, is relatively strong and durable; it's used to make coin pouches, belts and even boots.  Oil rendered from the bird is locally used to make soap and cosmetics.  The most practical way to hunt rhea is using the [[Bolas (weapon)|bolas]].

 == Behaviour ==
-The greater rhea weighs between 44 and 60 lbs on average, while the lesser rhea weights between 33 and 63 lbs. Like ostriches, the rhea typically run when threatened, able to reach speeds of up to 37 mph (132 hexes per round), but they also possess sharp talons to defend themselves from predators.
+Rheas are also known for their vocalizations, making a variety of sounds for communication within flocks or between mating partners.  Males are aggressive about defending their territory around the communal nest during the breeding season. They can engage in physical confrontations to establish dominance or protect their territory.  Natural predators include pumas and jaguars; large raptors like eagles or vultures target young birds, while giant forms commonly hunt adults.
-The usual predators of rheas are [[Jaguar|jaguars]] and [[cougar|cougars]], while caracaras and armadillos may prey on their nests. Rhea leather, oil, meat and feathers are all common products obtained from hunted or farmed rheas. The leather is often used for cloaks while the oil makes up soaps and cosmetics.
+See [[Bestiary]]
-Rheas are often hunted on horseback and can be quickly immobilized by a set of bolas.

+The '''rhea''' is a large flightless bird native to the grasslands of South America.  Featuring a long neck and legs, the greater rhea is well-adapted for life on the South American pampas and lowlands, though they have been known to dwell throughout the shrublands and barrens of the Andean Plateau, up to 15,000 ft. above sea level.  The bird's habitat favours a nearness to water sources, where it can forage and find sustenance.
 The greater rhea weighs between 44 and 60 lbs on average, while the lesser rhea weights between 33 and 63 lbs. Like ostriches, the rhea typically run when threatened, able to reach speeds of up to 37 mph (132 hexes per round), but they also possess sharp talons to defend themselves from predators.
