Lore

The tritail (\ ˈtrī-tāl \) is a humming-bird size 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 Magic Missile. Somewhat dangerous from a single tritail, but a swarm of them using this ability can be devastating.
