How to actually run it

Tactics

The stat block tells you what it can do. This tells you what to do with it.

1Pack Tactics — it rolls with advantage whenever an ally is within 5 feet of the target, so it always fights in numbers.

2With a 60 ft. flying speed it can stay out of melee reach; a party with no ranged answer will chase it all fight.
