Winged devourers are fearsome creatures that combine the speed and agility of birds with the strength and ferocity of much larger predators. Their powerful, muscular bodies and massive wings are covered in thick, dark razor-sharp feathers, scaly lizard legs, with long talons, and a scaled, reptilian head, fierce eyes, and a sharp, hooked beak.
Winged devourers are expert hunters, able to track their prey from a great distance before swooping down on them in a lightning-fast strike with either beak or talons.
Special Abilities
Special Attack: Swooping down on their victim from above, they use their powerful wings to create a gust of wind that knocks the victim off balance unless they make a save vs. Breath Weapon. If the victim fails to save, the devourer wraps its wings around them, not needing to roll to hit, then on the following round, and every subsequent round, using its razor like feathers it strips the flesh from its victims bones, causing 2d6 damage every round automatically. The victim can only escape if the devourer is driven off (forced to make a morale roll it fails), the devourer takes more than half its hit points in damage, or if the trapped character can roll greater than 17 on 1d20 (adding the character’s Strength mod). This attack is particularly gruesome and effective, but also leaves the winged devourer immobile and vulnerable to attack, however any attack made on the devourer while it has a victim wrapped in its wings will share the damage received, half to the devourer, half to the victim
