Appearance

These birds have iridescent feathers that reflect hues of green and purple, giving them an otherworldly appearance. Their eyes are unnaturally large and glowing, filled with a mixture of malice and primal hunger. Their sharp beaks and elongated claws indicate their predatory nature.

Actions

Piercing Shriek

The Shrieking Birds let out a deafening shriek in a 30-foot cone. Each creature in that area must make a DC 12 Wisdom saving throw, taking 2d6 thunder damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. A creature that fails this saving throw is also deafened until the end of its next turn.

Swarm Attack

The Shrieking Birds swarm around a target. Each bird deals 1d4 piercing damage, and if at least five birds attack the same target in the same turn, they can deal an additional 1d4 damage as they overwhelm the creature with their numbers.
