Ecology
Quetzalcoatlus is a non-magical animal, occupying a real ecological niche — predator, scavenger, herbivore, or pack member. It is most often found in coastal regions. It is huge-sized, which shapes how it hunts, hides, or fights.
Behaviour
Quetzalcoatlus is driven by instinct — territory, hunger, fear, mating. Its alignment varies by individual or is irrelevant — it acts on instinct, drive, or whoever commands it. It is largely instinct-driven; complex strategy is the work of whoever (or whatever) commands it.
Origin
Quetzalcoatlus is reprinted in Monsters of the Multiverse and expanded in Volo's Guide to Monsters. Within a campaign, its existence anchors a region with the kind of weight only an old, named species carries.
