Traits

Territorial Pursuit. If a creature comes within 10 feet of the goose's nest or young, the goose will pursue that creature relentlessly until it is either 60 feet away or dead. During this pursuit, the goose will use its Honk action and Bite/Wing attacks as often as possible.

Actions

Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +3 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 2 (1d4 + 1) piercing damage.

Honk. The goose emits a loud honk. Each creature within 15 ft. of the goose that can hear the honk must succeed on a DC 11 Wisdom saving throw or be frightened until the end of the goose's next turn.

Wing Attack. Melee Weapon Attack: +3 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 3 (1d6) bludgeoning damage.

Description

The Canadian goose is a large waterbird with a black head and neck, white cheeks, and a brown body. It is a common sight in parks and other open areas near water. While often considered a nuisance due to their aggressive territorial behavior and copious droppings, they are a force to be reckoned with for low-level adventurers.

A goose's honk can be surprisingly intimidating, and their bites, while not particularly strong, can be quite painful. They are fiercely protective of their nests and young, and will not hesitate to attack anything they perceive as a threat. Don't underestimate their wing attack either, which can deliver a surprising blow.

Habitat: Arctic
