The piasa can build a form of confinement for its saved food in the same manner it builds a nest. By weaving roots, sticks, branches, and vines together, the piasa makes a cocoon-shaped cage with one opening on top just large enough for a Medium creature. It provides a small container (usually stolen) filled with water. While it is dry and vulnerable to fire, the cage (AC 10, 60  hp ) will harm those inside if burned. A creature must succeed on a DC 18  Strength  ( Athletics ) check to climb up to the hole on top to escape, or deal at least 30 points of slashing or piercing damage to cut a hole in the side. \n'b'  Swoop . If the piasa flies at least 30 feet straight toward a creature of Large  size  or smaller, it has advantage on an opposed  Strength  ( Athletics ) check to grapple.

Piasa birds can build rudimentary cages and sometimes keep excess food in these confines to save for later devouring.'
