DnD 3.5 to 5e Monster Conversions: Achaierai

 

A large creature stands on four stiltlike legs. It has a birdlike body, round and plump, about the size of a small pony, balanced atop its legs. Feathers that range in color from brown to red cover its body, and its terrible claws and beak glint like burnished metal.

Next up on the list of monsters in the 3.5 monster manual excluded from 5e is this bizarre bird-demon thing. It's honestly not too difficult to imagine why it wouldn't make the cut when there are so many other more iconic monsters to cover, but it still seems interesting to flesh out some other planes of existence for when PCs eventually leave the sword coast to explore across the planes such as Acheron, which this fiend calls home.
