Fangs. The three pairs of fangs inflict 1d3 piercing damage, but they cannot pierce an armor that provided an armor class of 12 or more. If the webbing bird scores a hit roll of 3 or less, then its fangs break; ignore this effect if the webbing bird is biting living tissue that has been affected by its poison.
Poison. The webbing bird injects the poison through the stinger. The poison itself is not lethal, but the chemical substance triggers necrosis on the affected living tissue, making them smoother and easier to bite. The target must make a Constitution/Physical saving throw with a +2 bonus or suffer the temporary loss of 1 point of dexterity.
Stinger. The stinger inflicts 1d2 piercing damage and can pierce any armor except combat armors. The stinger is 10 centimeters long and extremely resistant.
COMBAT & TACTICS
Webbing birds are passive hunters that hunt smaller creatures. They build webs that hang from one tree to another and feed upon those creatures that get caught in their traps. They tend to avoid larger creatures, but they defend fiercely their territory. The webbing bird’s main weapon is the poison it injects through
the stinger, whilst the fangs are employed for feeding, and only in desperate cases for fighting.
DESCRIPTION
The webbing bird (or webbird) is the name given by the first explorers that encountered this exotic creature. It resembles more a flying insect than a bird, however. The largest specimen ever found measured around half a meter. The webbird has three pairs of wings covered with a fur-like fiber that increases the creature’s agility while flying. The head hosts three pairs of sharp fangs that the creature employs to feed and bite. The torso hosts a retractile tail with a poisonous stinger that also secrete the substance employed to make the web. The color varies from dark brown to deep red, and it reflects the background color of the flora that composes the environment.
HABITAT
Webbing birds thrive in a warm and windy environment where the flora is abundant and populated by small life forms and tend to avoid arid regions. Trees and bushes all provide good terrain for the webbing bird to survive and build a lair.
BIOLOGY
The webbing bird’s largest organ is the torso, which contains the glands through which it produces the web and the poison. They reproduce by laying dozens of eggs and letting them hang from the higher trees in their territory, the nest is usually located at the center of the complex of the web they make to mark their hunting ground. The web is very resistant to fire, but it crystallizes if exposed to cold temperatures.
