|tdesc1={{SRD52trait}} If the {{5e24lc|Creature}} is subjected to an effect that allows it to make a {{5e24|Dexterity}} {{5e24lc|Saving Throw}} to take only {{5e24lc|Half}} damage, the creature instead takes no damage if it succeeds on the save and only half damage if it fails. It can’t use this trait if it has the {{5e24|Incapacitated}} condition.

|tdesc2=The tritail can sense the life-force of living creatures and plants. Treat this as {{5e24|Truesight}} except when viewing {{5e24|Construct}}s, {{5e24|Undead}}, and {{5e24lc|Necromancy}} {{5e24lc|Spell}} effects (which are always treated as if in {{5e24lc|Dim Light}}.

|tdesc3={{SRD52trait}} The {{5e24lc|Swarm}} can occupy another {{5e24lc|Creature}}’s {{5e24lc|Space}} and vice versa, and the swarm can {{5e24lc|Move}} through any opening large enough for a {{5e24|Tiny}} creature. The swarm can’t regain {{5e24|Hit Point}}s or gain {{5e24|Temporary Hit Point}}s.

==Lore==
The tritail (\ ˈtrī-tāl \) is a humming-bird size {{5e24lc|Fey}} bird. It appears as a tiny yellow swallow with a tri-forked tail. When they swarm, it is to protect their territory against a perceived threat.

Their main diet is insects and seeds, keeping their ''magic missile'' ability for protection. However, they will sometimes hunt giant insects or small animals that might prove a threat to their territory.

Their most dangerous attack is their innate ability to cast {{5e24spell|Magic Missile}}. Somewhat dangerous from a single tritail, but a swarm of them using this ability can be devastating.
