Shapechanger. The ti-khana deinonychus can use its action to polymorph into a Medium snake, or back into its true form. Its statistics are the same in each form. Any equipment it is wearing or carrying isn't transformed. It doesn't change form if it dies.
Innate Spellcasting (Deinonychus Form Only). The ti-khana deinonychus's innate spellcasting ability is Charisma (spell save DC 10). The ti-khana can innately cast the following spells, requiring no material components:
Magic Resistance. The ti-khana has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.
- At will: detect magic
- 3/day: poison spray?
Keen Smell. The ti-khana deinonychus has advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on smell.
Pack Tactics. The ti-khana deinonychus has advantage on an attack roll against a creature if at least one of the deinonychus’ allies is within 5 feet of the creature and the ally isn’t incapacitated.
Pounce. If the ti-khana deinonychus moves at least 20 feet straight toward a creature and then hits it with a talon attack on the same turn, that target must succeed on a DC 12 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone. If the target is prone, the deinonychus can make one bite attack and one claws attack against it as a bonus action.
Rush (3/day). As a bonus action, the ti-khana deinonychus can take the Dash action.
Actions
Multiattack (Deinonychus Form Only). The ti-khana deinonychus makes two attacks: one with its claws and one with a bite or talon.

agree - I think teh gist was that they had increased intelligence. So far only has one spell - do you like idea of mindsliver too or leave it.Incidentally, I was tempted to lower the Intelligence to 4 but left it at 6 like the version you posted.
It's a magically augmented beastie so could be unnaturally smart, after all.
