Special abilities

• Consume Treasure. The pixiu has an appetite for gold, silver, and jewels and consumes them whenever possible. If the pixiu attempts to eat a magical coin, gemstone, or piece of jewelry, the object has a 25% chance of breaking, dispelling its magic and rendering it useless. If the object doesn't break, the pixiu gives up trying to eat it.
• Protector of Qi. The pixiu is immune to disease and to effects that would lower its maximum hp. In addition, each ally within 10 feet of the pixiu has advantage on saving throws against disease and is immune to effects that would lower its maximum hp.
• Treasure Sense. A pixiu can pinpoint, by scent, the location of precious metals and stones, such as coins and gems, within 60 feet of it.
