Bite: Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 13 (2d8 + 4) piercing damage.
Sky Song (Recharge 5-6): The Cloud Drinker emits a captivating song. Each creature within 300 feet that can hear the song must succeed on a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw or be charmed for 1 minute.

A creature charmed by the Sky Song can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. If a creature's saving throw is successful or the effect ends for it, the creature is immune to the Cloud Drinker's Sky Song for the next 24 hours.

Description
Cloud Drinkers are ethereal, fish-like beings that swim through the skies of Ionia, seeming to defy nature itself. Cruising at high altitudes, these majestic creatures absorb moisture and nutrients directly from the clouds, thriving in the boundary between earth and the heavens. With glistening white scales and profound, diaphanous fins that stretch and billow like the wings of angels, they are a miraculous sight, heralding the purity and wonders hidden in the heart of Ionian mysticism.
The haunting melodies of their songs are an integral aspect of life in the villages below. These long, pulsating chants resonate across the landscape, often regarded as omens or messages from the divine. The sounds transform the air into a tapelegy of peace, soothing the spirits of those fortunate enough to hear them. Few understand the true nature of the Cloud Drinkers' songs, but many attest to the feelings of serenity and hope that wash over them with every note.
While peaceful and aloof creatures, Cloud Drinkers are capable of protecting themselves with their powerful wing buffets and agile movements across the firmament. To witness a Cloud Drinker is to experience the profound harmony of Ionia—where even the skies themselves are alive with magic and melody.
