Actions
  • Multiattack. The tetomatli makes one head slam attack and one wing buffet attack.
  • Head Slam. Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 21 (3d10 + 5) bludgeoning damage. If the tetomatli scores a critical hit against a target wearing metal armor, the target must succeed on a DC 15 Strength saving throw or its armor is destroyed. A creature wearing magical armor has advantage on this saving throw. A creature wearing adamantine armor is unaffected.
  • Wing Buffet. Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 12 (2d6 + 5) bludgeoning damage.
  • Tremor (Recharge 6). The tetomatli slams its head repeatedly into the ground, creating a magical shockwave. Each creature within 20 feet of the tetomatli must succeed on a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw or be knocked prone and have disadvantage on attack rolls and Dexterity checks until the end of its next turn.

  • Heavy Flier. The tetomatli can fly up to 30 feet each round, but it must start and end its movement on a solid surface such as a roof or the ground. If it is flying at the end of its turn, it falls to the ground and takes falling damage.
