Traits

Leaping Pounce. If the war ostrich jumps at least 15 feet straight toward a creature and then hits it with a Claw attack on the same turn, that target must succeed on a DC 13 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone. If the target is prone, the ostrich can make one Beak attack against it as a bonus action.

Standing Leap. The war ostrich's long jump is up to 30 feet and its high jump is up to 15 feet, with or without a running start.

Actions

Beak. Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 6 (1d8 + 2) piercing damage.

Claw. Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 7 (2d4 + 2) bludgeoning damage.

Intimidating Screech. The war ostrich screeches at a creature it can see within 30 feet of it. The target must succeed on a DC 13 Wisdom saving throw or have disadvantage on attack rolls until the end of its next turn, as the screech rattles it.
