[Eldritch Seas] P.O.L.L.Y., Squawk-Work Parrot (Patreon)

P.O.L.L.Y., Squawk-Work Parrot

Wondrous item, rare (requires attunement)

Component: Construct instructions

Parrot for the Observation and Larceny of Landlubbers and Yellowbellies is yer new best friend. She’ll perch on yer shoulder and scream at anything lookin’ to harm ye, until ye want to harm her.

Combat. In combat, P.O.L.L.Y. shares your initiative count, but takes its turn immediately after yours. It can move and use its reaction on its own, but the only action it takes on its turn is the Dodge action, unless you take a bonus action on your turn to command it to take an action in its stat block or the Dash, Disengage, Help, or Hide action.

Squawk-Work Form. If P.O.L.L.Y. is reduced to 0 hit points, it becomes inert. A creature can spend 1 hour repairing P.O.L.L.Y. using tinker’s tools, causing it to regain all of its hit points. Additionally, P.O.L.L.Y. regains 2d6 hit points each time the mending cantrip is cast on it. Except for these two means, P.O.L.L.Y. can’t regain hit points.

Lookout Perch. As an action, you can command P.O.L.L.Y. to keep lookout. While on lookout, P.O.L.L.Y. cannot move or take actions and keeps watch of a 60-foot radius area centred on itself. Whenever a Tiny or larger creature enters the area, the watch ends and P.O.L.L.Y. begins to squawk loudly for 1 minute. When you set the lookout, you can specify any creatures that won’t set off the alarm. P.O.L.L.Y. stays on watch until triggered or you take an action to revoke the command. A creature that triggers P.O.L.L.Y. must make a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw. On a failure, the creature is frightened of P.O.L.L.Y. until it stops squawking. A creature frightened in this way can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on a success.
