Strong and tough, it possesses some spellcasting ability, but thatвЂ™s mostly peripheral to its vicious physical combat ability.Д«rutes with extraordinary Strength, exceptional Constitution, and above-average but not otherwise remarkable Intelligence, draegloths are melee machines. The draegloth is part demon, part drow, sent by high priestesses to wreck face in their housesвЂ™ names.

If and when one does actual harm to it, however, it fights back, doing its best to drive the aggressor away.

Even snatching food away from it doesnвЂ™t provoke it to fight it simply continues to try to get the food back, with greater determination. Cheeky and undauntable in its pursuit of food, it disregards other creatures as long as they leave it alone. The giant pigeon is another matter, because unlike its Tiny cousins, it doesnвЂ™t scare. It continues to attack until the intruder is driven off or the swarm is reduced to 10 hp or fewer. However, if the target doesnвЂ™t leave, the swarm then swoops back down and attacks with its Beaks. If the target subsequently moves, so does the swarm, using Hypervigilant Flight.

The first action it generally takes against a trespasser is Evacuate, more as a scare response than a calculated attempt to debilitate. Particularly if this roost is home to eggs or squabs, a swarm of pigeons may become aggressive toward anyone who intrudes. However, sometimes a swarm of pigeons chooses an empty, elevated location to roost in, such as an upper floor of an abandoned building. It still spooks easily, and it rarely attacks, preferring simply to use Hypervigilant Flight to retreat to a safe distance and, if pursued, to Dash to a safe perch out of reach.

Pigeons are prey creatures, not predators, and the only way youвЂ™re likely to suffer a Beak attack from one is if you somehow manage to grab it.ДЄ swarm of pigeons behaves similarly to a single pigeon, but not exactly the same. A small, unthreatening thing, itвЂ™s disinclined to fight at all and relies heavily on its Hypervigilant Flight reaction, which allows it to move up to half its speed as a reaction-without provoking an opportunity attack-if another creature moves within 5 feet of it. The standard pigeon in fifth-edition Dungeons & Dragons is no different.

And you know theyвЂ™re generally quite chill, unless your toddler runs directly at them, as toddlers invariably do. Like squirrels, they enjoy a commensal relationship with humans, benefiting greatly from our effect on the ecosystem without significantly helping us or harming us in any way. Where did it come from?
