The Shuttlecock Bird is a monster in Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy.
Description[]
- "The Shuttlecock Bird may be one-legged, but it's quick on its foot... When hurtling through the air to attack it resembles an arrow, and can cause as much damage."
- ―Book of Sphinx
- "One-legged with aerodynamic plumage."
- ―Monster Inspector
- "The Shuttlecock Bird may only be able to fly short distances at a time, but its one leg allows for some powerful hopping. The unique arrangement of feathers around its head make it incredibly aerodynamic when lunging to attack."
- ―Abydos Museum

Trivia[]
- The species is aptly named, as shuttlecocks are fast-flying feathered balls used in badminton. Both the feathers on the monster's head and its method of attack call back to this.
- The Shuttlecock Bird is one of only three monsters that does not appear out of captivity, with the other being the Featherless Turkey and the Shell Critter.
