(You flinch. The honk was personal.)
Territorial Menace
While within 30 feet of its nest, mate, or goslings, the Cobra Chicken has advantage on attack rolls and resistance to bludgeoning damage.
Unyielding Posture
If the Cobra Chicken is reduced to half its hit points or fewer, it immediately spreads its wings and gains advantage on Intimidation checks and cannot be frightened.

Description
The Cobra Chicken is a medium, foul-tempered waterfowl infamous across civilized lands for its total lack of fear, restraint, or decency. Though biologically similar to common geese, this creature carries itself like a venomous serpent in feathered form — neck arched, wings half-spread, eyes locked with predatory intent.
A Cobra Chicken’s most recognizable trait is its threat display: it rises to its full height, hissing loudly while unfurling its wings to appear far larger than it already is. This display is not a bluff. When challenged, the Cobra Chicken commits fully, charging without hesitation and striking with bone-crushing wing blows and vicious bites aimed at exposed flesh.
Cobra Chickens are aggressively territorial. They claim riverbanks, bridges, roadsides, parks, temple courtyards, and any location foolish enough to offer open space and witnesses. Once a territory is chosen, the creature treats all intruders as hostile — regardless of size, armament, or divine favor.
Despite their animal intellect, Cobra Chickens possess an uncanny instinct for psychological warfare. Their honking is sharp, resonant, and unrelenting, often causing seasoned warriors to falter. Mounts panic. Spellcasters lose focus. Pride dies quickly.
When wounded, a Cobra Chicken does not retreat. Instead, it becomes more dangerous — louder, faster, and visibly enraged. Witnesses describe injured Cobra Chickens as fighting “out of pure spite,” continuing their assault long after a reasonable creature would flee.
Cobra Chickens are rarely solitary. They form mated pairs or flocks, and an attack on one is often followed by the sudden arrival of others from nearby water or brush. Entire communities have been known to reroute roads, abandon docks, or schedule festivals around known nesting seasons.
Many druids insist the Cobra Chicken is a reminder from nature:
“You are not as important as you think.”
