Traits

Venomous Skin. The Ōmukade's blood is laced with feverish acid. An attacking creature takes 4 (1d8) acid damage whenever it hits the Ōmukade with a melee attack that deals piercing or slashing damage.

Multi-Grapple. The Ōmukade can grapple and fly with up to ten medium (or smaller) targets simultaneously. A large target consumes two grapple slots. These ten slots can also be used for large items or vehicles.

(Tamed Variant) Aerial Drop. The Ōmukade is a highly intelligent creature that can drop traps, creatures, and cargo on demand. Examples per slot include:

  1. 1 medium creature (Orc, Bugbear, etc.), or 2 small creatures (Goblin, Kobold, etc.)
  2. 1d4 Bombs (1 Bomb: 5 ft radius, DC 14 Dexterity saving throw or take 3d6 fire damage for each bomb detonated)
  3. 2d4 Sticks Dynamite (1 Stick: 10 ft radius (compounding), DC 14 Dexterity saving throw or take 1d6 fire damage for each stick)
  4. 1 Frag Grenade (Each creature within 20 feet of an exploding fragmentation grenade must make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw, taking 5d6 piercing damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.)
  5. 1 Smoke Grenade (One round after a smoke grenade lands, it emits a cloud of smoke that creates a heavily obscured area in a 20-foot radius. A moderate wind (at least 10 miles per hour) disperses the smoke in 4 rounds; a strong wind (20 or more miles per hour) disperses it in 1 round.)
  6. 1 Poison Grenade (30 ft spray radius. All creatures in the radius are subjected to this poison must succeed on a DC 13 Constitution saving throw or be poisoned for 1 minute. The poisoned creature is paralyzed. The creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.)

Saliva-Phobia. When the saliva of another creature successfully connects with the Ōmukade's flesh (via a Bite attack or directed action),  the Ōmukade must immediately use its reaction, if available, to move as far as its speed allows away from the attacker. The creature doesn’t move into obviously dangerous ground, such as a fire or a pit.

Actions

Multiattack. The Ōmukade makes two attacks: one with its bite and one with its claws. Tamed Ōmukade can use Aerial Drop Command in the place of its bite attack.

Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 10 ft., one creature. Hit: 11 (2d6 + 4) piercing damage.

Claws. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 13 (2d8 + 4) slashing damage, and the target is grappled (escape DC 14) if it is a Large or smaller creature. Until the grapple ends, the Ōmukade can’t use this grapple slot on another target. The Ōmukade has ten grapple slots.

Aerial Drop Command.  (See table for Arial Drop in special traits) The Ōmukade can drop one item from the aerial drop table while flying and can target any point below itself.

Description

Slithering between mountains, a terrible scourge descends from the heavens to prey upon small villages. With a mighty dive, it wipes out entire battalions by sweeping up foes in a deadly many-legged embrace. Venomous acidic blood courses through the feverish Omukade and piercing its hide may slowly dissolve its hostages.

Though despite the overwhelming presence these dragons hold in the wild, a group of clever kobolds discovered the beasts have a strong aversion to- of all things- saliva. Using this knowledge, kobold trappers were able to tame and ride the first of many Omukade as these intelligent creatures respond rather well to positive reinforcement. Trained Omukade can fly with up to ten passengers, ferry large cargo great distances, and drop explosives on enemies with a simple command. In some monster-governed cities, Omukade are used as common public transportation, so long as adventures don’t mind grasping embrace of a giant flying centipede-bus.
