D&D 5E D&D doesn't need birds

[Stefano Rinaldelli]

I disagree!

As the owner of an African Grey Parrot I can promise that they are in no way overpowered. While they have very effective bite and sonic attacks, their frail constitution makes them almost useless in combat.

Indeed they have another form of attack you do not mention....

I'm just responding to @Morrus request for more suggestion threads for testing.

However, I don't like birds and think the game would be better without them. Certainly not as full characters and in no way should they be able to lay eggs on a long rest.

Wait, what? Who lays eggs on a long rest?

Now this is the Bird Companion that you really need (except that it will disembowel you first)

As a DM, I can't remember the last time I said to myself "what this adventure really needs is a Roc."

I fondly remember a TPK caused by a Roc back in the day...

Reminder that birds are basically dinosaurs, and we've all seen Jurassic Park. Is that what you want? Hmm?

Um, yes?

Of course. They're fracking velociraptors.
