Melee Weapon Attack: +10 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 19 (4d6 + 5) slashing damage. Sonic Attack (Recharge 4-6). The curator uses one of the following sonic attacks: Screech. The curator inhales deeply, then releases a debilitating wave of sound in a 120-foot cone. Each creature in that area must make a DC 18 Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes 10 (3d6) thunder damage and the curator has advantage on attack rolls against it until the start of the creature's next turn. On a successful save, a creature takes half as much damage and suffers no additional effect. Shockwave. The curator emits a burst of compressed sound at a point it can see within 90 feet of it which explodes on contact. Each creature in a 20-foot-radius sphere centered on that point must make a DC 21 Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes 14 (4d6) thunder damage and becomes deafened for 1 minute. On a successful save, a creature takes half as much damage and isn't deafened. Wing Attack. The curator beats its wings. Each creature within 10 feet of the curator must succeed on a DC 18 Dexterity saving throw or take 12 (2d6 + 5) bludgeoning damage and be knocked prone. The curator can then fly up to half its flying speed.

Curators are intelligent, locomotive-sized chiroptera, able to pull an elephant apart with their claws, or pummel it to pieces with their hellish shrieks. They are covered in fine, dull hairs; their bodies are thin, the ridges of their ribs pressing through the patchy fur. A curator's wings are thin but sturdy, with a texture between sailcloth and supple leather. The creatures' teeth are long, serrated, and sharp as chisels. Their vast jaws display a row of yellowing fangs; each is stubbornly rooted in the scarlet, glistening gum. Curators accumulate hoards, which they guard violently. Each hoard collects artifacts or creatures themed to the curator’s particular obsession. A curator typically carries items using a tight net harness strapped to its body. They attach their large, papery eggs between rocks or in high places, which resemble wasp's nests and can contain treasure. If not solitary, curators are often used as messengers or servants by powerful beings due to their intelligence, strength, and speedy flight.
