Aggressive. As a bonus action, the turkey can move up to its speed toward a hostile creature that it can see.

Legendary Resistance (1/day). If the turkey fails a saving throw, it can choose to succeed instead.

Actions

Multiattack. The turkey can use its Haunting Warble. It then makes two attacks: one with its beak and one with its talons.

Beak. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 13 (3d6 + 3) piercing damage and the target is grappled (escape DC 14). Until this grapple ends, the target is restrained, and the turkey can't bite another target.

Talons. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 17 (3d8 + 3) slashing damage.

Swallow. The turkey makes one bite attack against a Medium or smaller target it is grappling. If the attack hits, the target is swallowed, and the grapple ends. The swallowed target is blinded and restrained, it has total cover against attacks and other effects outside the turkey, and it takes 24 (7d6) acid damage at the start of each of the turkey's turns. The turkey has two stomachs, each of which can have only one creature swallowed at a time. If the turkey takes 20 damage or more on a single turn from a creature inside it, the turkey regurgitates that creature, which falls prone in a space within 10 feet of the turkey.

Haunting Warble. Each creature of the turkey's choice that is within 120 ft. of the turkey and aware of it must succeed on a DC 14 Wisdom saving throw or become frightened for 1 minute. A creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. If a creature's saving throw is successful or the effect ends for it, the creature is immune to the turkey's Haunting Warble for the next 24 hours.
