Special
Consume Treasure
The pixiu has an appetite for gold, silver, and jewels and consumes them whenever possible. If the pixiu attempts to eat a magical coin, gemstone, or piece of jewelry, the object has a 25% chance of breaking, dispelling its magic and rendering it useless. If the object doesn't break, the pixiu gives up trying to eat it.
Special
Protector of Qi
The pixiu is immune to disease and to effects that would lower its maximum hp. In addition, each ally within 10 feet of the pixiu has advantage on saving throws against disease and is immune to effects that would lower its maximum hp.
Special
Treasure Sense
A pixiu can pinpoint, by scent, the location of precious metals and stones, such as coins and gems, within 60 feet of it.
Devourers of Wealth. Pixiu feed upon gold, silver, jewels, and magic items. Offering them valuables is an easy way to gain their attention or to pass unmolested when they are guardians of a pass, spring, or shrine. Their love of bells, baubles, and (especially) gold and silver necklaces leads them to work with bandits and wizards, so long as they are well-fed. In particular, they enjoy looting shrines and temples of bronze or silver bells.
Ambitious and Docile. Female pixiu are often more ambitious and cunning than the males. In some cases, male pixiu are seen as more docile or mistaken for unusual lions or chimeras; a female pixiu always stands out in both her boldness and her aggression.
Trained Hunters. Wealthy merchants and nobles have been known to raise and train pixiu as loyal companions. A well-trained pixiu is able to hunt for treasure and return the wealth to its master without eating it.
