Limiting the power of a character and making the overall difficulty of the game harder, does not reduce the creativity, indeed it does quite the opposite.
The Game Master has the option to use any and all of the instances proposed in this guide, or just some of them according to their preference.
It is the lack of something that move and motivate characters, not the abundance of it
DESCRIPTION
he quetzalcoatlus is a colossal flying reptile that resembles a pterosaur. It has a long, toothless beak, a long neck, and a wingspan of over 40 feet. Its body is covered with dark brown feathers, and its head has a distinctive crest that curves backward. The quetzalcoatlus is named after the Aztec god Quetzalcoatl, who was depicted as a feathered serpent.
COMBAT
The quetzalcoatlus is a fearsome predator that hunts from the air. It can swoop down and snatch up prey with its powerful beak, or use its talons to grab and carry off smaller creatures. It can also bite with considerable force, especially if it flies at least 30 feet toward the target before the hit. The quetzalcoatlus does not provoke an opportunity attack when it flies out of an enemy’s reach.
The quetzalcoatlus is not very agile in flight, but it can use its speed and size to its advantage. It can fly up to 80 feet per round, and it can dive at a steep angle to gain momentum. It can also use its wings to create gusts of wind that can knock down or push back foes. The quetzalcoatlus has a keen sense of sight and smell, and it can spot prey from a great distance. It has a natural armor of 13, and it can withstand 30 hit points of damage before falling.
HABITAT / SOCIETY
The quetzalcoatlus lives in warm and tropical regions, where it can find plenty of food and open skies. It prefers to nest on high cliffs or mountains, where it can have a good view of the surrounding area. The quetzalcoatlus is usually solitary, but it may form small flocks during mating season or when food is scarce. The quetzalcoatlus is not very intelligent, but it has a strong instinct for survival and territoriality. It will defend its nest and hunting grounds from intruders, and it will flee from threats that are too dangerous to face.
ECOLOGY
The quetzalcoatlus is an apex predator that feeds on a variety of animals, such as deer, horses, cattle, or even humans. It can swallow small prey whole, or tear larger prey into pieces with its beak. The quetzalcoatlus does not need to eat very often, as it can store fat in its body for long periods of time. The quetzalcoatlus plays an important role in the ecosystem, as it helps control the population of herbivores and scavengers. The quetzalcoatlus has few natural enemies, except for other flying creatures such as dragons or rocs.
