The Simurgh (テンプルホーク, Tenpuruhōku, Templehawk) is an enemy which appears in Suikoden.
Simurghs have fairly high HP and STR, making it a potentially troublesome foe if the player's party has already been weakened in previous battles. Aside from that, it should not post much danger to a party at this late stage of the game.
Information
These hawk-like monsters appeared towards the end of the Gate Rune War in the Arus region surrounding Gregminster. Soaring high in the air, they would swoop down with tremendous speed at their targets.
Rarely, Thunder Orbs could be found in the carcass of this monster.

Etymology
