And the ankheg has this: Acid Spray (Recharge 6). The ankheg spits acid in a line that is 30 feet long and 5 feet wide, provided that it has no creature <a href="https://www.dndbeyond.com/compendium/rules/basic-rules/appendix-a-conditions#Grappled" target="_blank">grappled</a>. Each creature in that line must make a DC 13 Dexterity saving throw, taking 10 (3d6)acid damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. Flying PCs are not a problem. If they are higher than that, then you have a split party. Both the groundlings and the flyers are at greater risk. The flyer isn't going to be very popular if they plunk away with arrows whilst the earthbound party members are massacred. And the earthbound party members aren't going to be able to help when the flyer is attacked by a swarm of stirges (or didn't you read the Monster Manual up to S?).</blockquote>
