Maru - AI-generated fantasy Monster

Maru

Among beachgoers, Maru is known as a harmless-looking menace. Fisherfolk swear it can spot a silver coin from impossible distance, and smugglers tell stories of the little bird stealing key rings from belts and vanishing over the surf. Those who earn Maru's trust find that the plover can be surprisingly loyal, especially when Eisuke Kubo is nearby. It is not brave in the heroic sense, but it is bold in the way of small creatures that know how to survive by being too quick to catch.

Keen Eyesight. Maru has advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on sight.
Agile Flyer. Opportunity attacks against Maru are made with disadvantage while it is flying.
Broken-Wing Display (Recharge 5-6). When a hostile creature comes within 15 feet of Maru or its nest, Maru can use a bonus action to perform an elaborate injury display. One creature that can see the display must succeed on a Wisdom (Insight) check or have disadvantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks to notice creatures or objects other than Maru until the end of its next turn. Creatures with Intelligence 3 or lower automatically fail this check.
Beachside Pilferer. Maru can carry or drag Tiny or smaller objects without reducing its speed, and it can attempt to snatch unattended items no larger than a coin pouch, key ring, or similar handheld trinket.
Peck. Melee Weapon Attack: to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 4 piercing damage.
Skittering Hop. The plover nimbly darts up to half its flying speed without provoking opportunity attacks.
Snatch. One creature the plover can see within 5 feet of it must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or drop one held object of the plover's choice, which the plover can then immediately move up to 5 feet toward itself.
Flash Wing. When a creature misses Maru with a melee attack, Maru can flutter up to 5 feet without provoking opportunity attacks.
