Traits

Fast Flier. Attacks of opportunity made against the Adult Cazador while it is flying have disadvantage.

Hive Tactics. The Adult Cazador has advantage on an attack roll against a creature if at least one ally is within 5 ft. of the creature and the ally isn't incapacitated.

Actions

Sting. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature. Hit: 4 (1d4 + 2) piercing damage, and the target must succeed on a DC 13 Constitution saving throw or become poisoned for one minute and take 7 (2d6) poison damage on a failed save, taking half as much damage without being poisoned on a successful one. While poisoned in this way, the target takes 3 (1d6) necrotic damage at the beginning of their turn. As long as they are conscious, the target can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of their turns, ending the effect on a success.

Reactions

Erratic Movement. The Adult Cazador can impose disadvantage on one ranged weapon attack targeting it.

Description

Red-eyed, orange-winged, and dark of carapace, the cazador is a deadly and carnivorous desert predator.

Aside from its striking appearance, the cazador is best known for the loud buzzing sound and jerky movements of its flight, which it uses to its advantage against hunters and prey strong enough to fight back. A cazador hive can communicate quickly and effectively using pheromones and the sound of their wings to coordinate surprisingly-sophisticated strategies to bring down big game. While they often attack in groups, a single cazador can hunt effectively as an ambush predator, striking with its poisonous sting and waiting for its target to die before feeding and bringing the remains back to the hive.

Cazadors mature quickly, within a matter of days, and grow quickly in size once they reach adulthood. This makes them somewhat less-nimble than their youthful counterparts, but their venom is significantly more potent.
