Magic Resistance. An achaierai has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.
Nimble Escape. The achaierai can take the Disengage action as a Bonus Action on each of its turns.
Powerful Legs. Whenever the achaierai makes a Strength (Athletics) check, it may add twice its proficiency bonus to the check.
Multiattack. An achaierai makes two attacks with its claws and one attack with its bite.
Claw. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 11 (2d6+4) slashing damage.
Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 13 (2d8+4) piercing damage.
Black Cloud (3/day). The achaierai releases a choking black cloud of toxic gas. All creatures within 10 feet of the achaierai must make a DC 13 Constitution saving throw, taking 14 (4d6) poison damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. A creature that fails its save is also affected as though by the spell confusion. At the end of each of its turns, an affected target can make a DC 13 Wisdom saving throw, ending the effect on itself on a success.
Description
A large creature stands on four stilt-like legs. It has a birdlike body, round and plump, about the size of a small pony, balanced atop its legs. Feathers that range in color from brown to red cover its body, and its terrible claws and beak glint like burnished metal.
Achaierais are massive, 15-foot-tall flightless birds that inhabit the plane of Acheron and are only occasionally encountered elsewhere. They are evil, clever, and predatory, with a distinct taste for torture.
A creature found in the book Monster Manual for D&D 3.5, adapted to 5th Edition.
