The arrowhawk cannot use this ability again until it has finished a long/short rest. Lightning Charge (Recharge 5-6).

Each creature in the line must make a DC 17 Dexterity saving throw, taking 55 (10d10) lightning damage on a failed save, and half as much damage on a successful one. The lightning bolt turns back into the arrowhawk when it reaches the target. As a bonus action, the arrowhawk can make a beak attack at the creature it appears next to.

An arrowhawk. An arrowhawk is a predator and scavenger from the Elemental Plane of Air. Capable of flight as soon as they hatch, an arrowhawk spends the majority of is life in the air without ever setting down. By twisting its body and varying the cadence of its wingbeats, an arrowhawk can fly at top speed in any direction and its ability to levitate aids it in flight. Arrowhawks have four wings and four eyes (one pair on either side of its beak). They are covered in blue scales with the occasional tuft of yellow feathers. Adults (11–40 years old) are about 10 feet (3 meters) long with a wingspan of 15 feet (4.6 meters). Adults weigh about 100 pounds (45 kg). Arrowhawks speak Auran, but they are not usually talkative creatures as they are extremely territorial and always hungry. They attack almost any other creature they meet, seeking a meal or trying to drive away a rival. The primary mode of attack is an electricity ray, fired from the tail. The creature also bites, but it prefers to stay out of reach.
