Unofficial Description: Messenger bird construct
Granny Nightshade uses the mechanical sparrows to relay messages to her sisters. The sparrows use the hawk stat block but are Constructs that are immune to poison and psychic damage; the effects of exhaustion; and the charmed, frightened, petrified, and poisoned conditions.
The sparrows have their names engraved on their breasts. (Example names include Glyff, Pim, and Zwee. If a creature speaks a sparrow’s name aloud and gives it a task, it flies off as though affected by an animal messenger spell. In addition to delivering spoken messages, a mechanical sparrow can also carry written letters.
