Description
The Turkey resembles a normal wild turkey, but it’s eyes emanate a red glow, and it gives off a smell similar to burning charcoal. It’s feathers are tinted dark red and give off a metallic shine.
Lair and Lair Actions
The Turkey’s lair is usually located in a ghost town. The largest building in town will be surrounded by foods commonly had during thanksgiving. If you enter the house the opening chamber is immediately larger than the building itself. In the center of the chamber there is a table with a dead aarakocra chained to it. The other rooms are connected by a maze of hallways and each have disturbing parallels to thanksgiving, such as stuffed humans. There are gold and copper coins randomly strewn about in the halls. The Turkey will appear in the opening chamber as soon as anything is picked up.
Lair Actions
On initiative count 3 (losing initiative ties), the Turkey takes a lair action to cause one of the following effects; the Turkey can’t use the same effect two rounds in a row:
- The maze of hallways shifts
- The dead corpses re-animate
- The doors become masked by an illusion
Regional Effects
The region containing a corrupted turkey’s lair is dry and the soil is infertile, with some patches that are overly green and crowed with flora, which creates one or more of the following effects:
- Shambling mounds tend to appear and disappear in 3 minute intervals
- Dead bodies of all races can be a mere few inches beneath the surface
If the Turkey dies, these effects fade over the course of 1d12 hours.
