“The Mythical Marvel: Unlock the Secrets of the Elusive Dodo, a Feathered Enigma Lost in the Sands of Time!”
Appearance: The Dodo, a charming and plump flightless bird, exhibits a distinctive appearance with its round body covered in soft feathers ranging from sandy beige to pale gray. Their small heads boast hooked beaks, while their wings, now vestigial, once hinted at their ancestors’ ability to soar through the skies.
Behavior: Dodos are characterized by a docile and inquisitive nature, showcasing a charming clumsiness in their waddling movements. These ground-dwelling birds form small, tight-knit groups, engaging in simple yet endearing social interactions. Their trusting demeanor, rather than fear, makes them approachable and friendly, as though they never encountered the threats that led to their historical decline.
Habitat: Native to the island of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean, dodos thrive in dense, lush forests. Their habitat remains an ecological haven, free from the disruptions. Dodos coexist harmoniously with their surroundings, an enduring symbol of the delicate balance between nature and its inhabitants.
Modus Operandi: The dodo’s modus operandi reflects an existence where their flightlessness poses no threat. Unburdened by the dangers that led to their demise, they navigate their habitat with an instinctive innocence, blissfully unaware of the challenges that altered their course in the real historical timeline.
Motivation: The dodo’s motivation remains a simple yet profound one – to thrive in their native habitat. Unfettered by the pressures that once pushed them towards extinction, they contribute to the ecosystem as essential players in a harmonious symphony of nature. Their motivation echoes the essence of a species resilient against the challenges that rewrote their fate in our reality.

Flurry of Wings (Recharge 5-6). The dodo flaps its wings rapidly, creating a cloud of dust and feathers in a 5-foot radius around it. Each creature within that area must succeed on a DC 11 Constitution saving throw or be blinded until the end of their next turn.
This plump, gray, flightless bird waddles about on ungainly legs, fearlessly bobbing its prodigious beak.
These flightless birds typically inhabit isolated tropical islands and coastlines that are devoid of predators and other creatures that might kill them to use as a resource. Dodos’ size and unfamiliarity with natural dangers contribute to a kind of boldness in their species—or what some would call stupidity—causing them to bumble into precarious situations and making them easy targets for other creatures that are on the prowl for a tasty meal. The birds can all too easily be caught and slain, and while their meat has a most unpleasant taste, few starving, shipwrecked sailors would turn such a providential meal down.
