On a successful hit, the target must succeed on a DC 10 Dexterity saving throw or have disadvantage on their next saving throw.

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 spawn in large groups, and while many of these spawns die from cannibalization or exposure, when directed by the pheromones of other cazadors they can swarm threats to the hive or high-value prey.
