Alkonost
An alkonost has blue-black wings, bird legs and the face of a crowned woman. It comes from the old songs of paradise. Its song makes a listener forget their grief and then forget what they were doing. The alkonost means no harm by it, and travelers who hear one are found sitting where they stopped.

Song of Forgetting
DC 14 Wisdom save
Every creature within 60 feet that can hear it makes a Wisdom saving throw. On a failure it is Charmed for 1 minute: it drops what it is holding, stops where it is, and takes no actions. It repeats the save at the end of each of its turns and whenever it takes damage. A creature that succeeds is immune to the song for 24 hours.
