Chicken Dash. The cobra-chicken moves up to half its speed without provoking opportunity attacks. It cannot use this bonus action if it is frightened.
Startling Display When a creature the cobra-chicken can see moves within 10 feet of it, the cobra-chicken can use its reaction to flare its hood and rear up threateningly. The creature must succeed on a DC 11 Wisdom saving throw or be frightened of the cobra-chicken until the end of its next turn.
Once a creature succeeds on this saving throw, it is immune to this cobra-chicken’s Startling Display for 24 hours.
Description
Despite its bizarre appearance, the cobra-chicken behaves much like an ordinary chicken until threatened. It pecks at the ground, scratches through dirt, and occasionally clucks. When startled, however, its neck suddenly rises high above its feathered body, its hood spreads wide, and it emits an unsettling hiss before striking. They are known to eat their own eggs on occasion.
