Air Envelope. If it has at least 1 hit point, the gadabout can generate an air envelope around itself when in a vacuum. This air envelope can sustain the gadabout and one other creature in its space indefinitely.
Unusual Nature. The gadabout doesn’t require food or sleep.
Multiattack. The gadabout makes two Branch attacks.
Branch. Melee Weapon Attack: +3 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 3 (1d4 + 1) slashing damage.
Wrap. The gadabout enters the space of a willing Medium or Small creature within 5 feet of itself and gently wraps its branches around the target. The target is grappled (escape DC 0). Any attempt by the target to escape the grapple causes the gadabout to use its reaction to move into the nearest unoccupied space. While grappled by the gadabout, the target determines where the gadabout moves on the gadabout’s turns and accompanies the gadabout wherever it goes.
Description
Gadabouts are gentle, winged creatures that can be used as personal conveyances for short-distance travel across the airless void of Wildspace. A gadabout wraps its branches around a Humanoid creature, spreads its butterfly wings, and allows its wearer to fly through space in a continuously refreshed air envelope. The gadabout’s leaves even provide a nourishing syrup that its wearer can consume in the absence of other food and water. One Humanoid can survive on these leaves for up to sixty days.
Gadabouts require sunlight and water to survive. A healthy specimen can live for 25 years. Although its preferred mode of travel is flight, a gadabout can creep slowly along the ground as well.
Elves are the only Humanoids to date who know how to grow gadabouts. Since gadabouts don’t generate seeds, each one is a valuable commodity. Mercane and dohwar merchants who come into possession of a healthy gadabout might sell it for 2,500 gp or more.

Posted Aug 26, 2022Because it's grappling you when you use it, does that mean it only goes 30 feet on it's turn? I don't see anything in the stat block that would grant the full 60 feet fly speed, but there might be a rule I don't know about.

Posted Oct 7, 2022That is true per the rules and I'm pretty sure that's the intent as well, although it probably should have reminder text to that effect. It makes sense that the Gadabout can fly faster without lugging around a person, and thirty feet of flight without an attunement slot, feat, or class choice is pretty fantastic whatever the price.
