Shapechanger. The chickenwere can use its action to polymorph into a specific small or medium human, or a small chick-humanoid hybrid reminiscent of a kenku, or back into its true form (that of a tiny chicken). Other than its size and movement speed, its statistics are the same in each form. Any equipment it is wearing or carrying isn’t transformed. It reverts to its true form if it dies.
Bad Flier: The Chickenwere falls at the end of a turn if it’s airborne and the only thing holding it aloft is its flying speed.
Innate Spellcasting: The Chickenwere is a 5th-level spellcaster. Its spellcasting ability is Intelligence (spell save DC 13, +5 to hit with spell attacks). It can innately cast the following spells, even while in chicken form, requiring no material components:
Multiattack (Chicken or hybrid form only): The Chickenwere makes three attacks: one with its beak and two with its talons.
Beak (Chicken or Hybrid Form Only). Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 4 (1d4 + 2) piercing damage.
Talons (Chicken or Hybrid Form Only), Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 4 (1d4 + 2) slashing damage.
Description
The first chickenwere began life as an innocent, barnyard bird. Awakened by a druid's magic, the chicken knew it needed more from life. It sought out the help of a hag, and begged the witch to grant her human legs. The hag granted the bird's wish, and thus, the abomination of fey sorcerery we call a chickenwere was born.
Along with the ability to shapechange, the chickenwere was granted unnatural intelligence. This gift was as world-shifting as it was unexpected, and lead to the chickenwere's ability to tap into the weave and manipulate it to cast a limited range of spells. Now, that chickenwere, first of her kind, travels the world, freeing other chickens from domestic imprisonment. Once they are awakened, she offers to perform the same rite that opened her mind to the arcane. If they accept, they too are transformed from lowly, merely disturbing birds into terrifying chickenweres.
