What first appeared to be a large crow is something far worse. An eyeless head sits on top of a black feathered body the size of a man. Two wings fan outwards, growing above a pair of muscled, clawed arms.

"Destroying Angel" is the name a poet gave these creatures after witnessing them hunt. While they are certainly not angels of any sort, they have an almost regal air when in flight. They prefer to live in high peaks, but can be found anywhere there is prey. Lacking eyes, they hunt by highly advanced echolocation. If they cannot hear, they lose their blindsight ability.
Destroying angels are exclusively carnivorous, feeding off of large animals. They have a particular fondness for giantflesh.
The average destroying angel stands around six and a half feet high, with a twenty foot wingspan. They weigh slightly over 200 pounds. Destroying angels cannot speak, but understand Auran, Common, and Draconic.

Combat
Destroying angels attack from above, diving at their target and attempting to rip it to shreds. They make use of their agility to surround and overwhelm large targets, confident in their ability to evade hits.

Unearthly Grace (Su): A destroying angel gains a bonus to saves and a deflection bonus to AC equal to its Charisma bonus, if any.

Worry (Ex): If a destroying angel hits with both claws and its bite, it automatically savages the target's flesh with its jaws, dealing an additional 2d6+6 damage.

Skills: A destroying angel gains a +4 racial bonus on Balance, Hide, and Move Silently checks. Lacking eyes, it automatically fails all Spot checks. It's excellent sense of hearing grants it a +20 racial bonus on Listen checks.

Meh. Nothing wrong with it, but nothing new either.
