War Caster. Archojexal has advantage on concentration saving throws, and he can cast a cantrip in place of an opportunity attack against the creature who provoked it.
Inured to Undeath. Archojexal's hit point maximum can’t be reduced.
Undead Thralls. Any undead Archojexal creates have an increase of 11 to their maximum hit points, and a +5 bonus to their weapon damage rolls.
Superior Spellcasting. Archojexal does not need to provide Material, Verbal, or Somatic components for his spells. In addition, his spellcasting DC, spell attack modifier, and the number of spells he can have prepared increase by 1 (already factored in) and he can cast one spell without consuming a spell slot once per long rest.
Multiattack. Archojexal makes two attacks: one with its beak and one with its talons. He can replace either attack with one cantrip.
Beak. Melee Weapon Attack: +13 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 27 (4d8 + 9) piercing damage.
Talons. Melee Weapon Attack: +13 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 23 (4d6 + 9) slashing damage, and the target is grappled (escape DC 19). Until this grapple ends, the target is restrained. Archojexal has 2 talons. Once he has 2 creatures grappled, he can't grapple another target this way.
Summon Undead. (Recharge 6) Archojexal can target up to three medium corpses or piles of bones of a medium or small humanoid. The target becomes a skeleton if Archojexal chose bones or a zombie if he chose a corpse. Archojexal can use a bonus action to mentally command any creature he made with this spell if the creature is within 60 feet of him (if he controls multiple creatures, he can command any or all of them at the same time, issuing the same command to each one). He decides what action the creature will take and where it will move during its next turn, or he can issue a general command, such as to guard a particular chamber or corridor. If he issues no commands, the creature only defends itself against hostile creatures. Once given an order, the creature continues to follow it until its task is complete. Archojexal can have no more than three undead under his control this way.
Archojexal can take 3 legendary actions, choosing from the options below. Only one legendary action option can be used at a time and only at the end of another creature’s turn. Archojexal regains spent legendary actions at the start of its turn.
Detect. Archojexal makes a Wisdom (Perception) check.
Talons (Costs 2 Actions). Archojexal makes one talon attack.
Spell (Costs 2 Actions). Archojexal casts a spell.
