Flyby. While it is flying, the aeralfos's movement doesn't provoke reactions.

Actions

Shortsword. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit. Hit: 6 (1d6 + 3) piercing damage. If the aeralfos flew at least 20 feet straight towards the target immediately before this attack, a hit deals an extra 9 (2d8) damage.

Claws. Melee Unarmed Strike: +3 to hit. Hit: 3 (1d4 + 1) slashing damage.


Reactions

Deflect. When it would be hit by a ranged attack, aeralfos (creature) adds 2 to its AC, potentially turning the hit into a miss.

     An aeralfos is shorter, thinner, and more fragile than most other lizal, but it is born bat-like wings enabling flight. Its diving sword attacks are lethal, even more so when a land-bound target has no way to retaliate.
     Inferior Isolationists. Despite the immense advantage of flight, most aeralfos tend to be treated as lessers among their kind due to their smaller size and relatively meager strength. Many, but not all, aeralfos abandon the tribes which birthed them to seek isolation among small groups of aeralfos. They are most abundantly found isolated the sky, on sky islands, on mountains, or other locations inaccessible to terrestrial creatures.
     Environment: Hills, Ruins, Sky
