Intended tactics:

• The zmaj uses its Dive trait to move up to 100 feet while diving at a creature.
• When it gets to the creature, it uses its Multiattack, replacing its Bite attack with a Grapple action and then using its Swallow action.
• If successful in grappling and swallowing, it attempts to fly away with its prey while the fledglings in its mouth take bites at the swallowed creature.
• If it fails, it tries to dive bomb another creature.
• If its forced into a direct fight, it uses its Bite and Fledgling Bites to maximize damage.

The image is a slimmed down version of some pages in a larger project (I cut out some additional setting context, a large portion of the trait options, and common traits tables for other clans.) There are lore reasons for these clans having various traits in the setting, but I'm just look for feedback on the system and its usability as a DM. The goal is to provide a ton of easily constructed stat blocks without filling the book with a large amount of variations of the same stat blocks. Some questions to prompt feedback:

Is the information presented in an easily followed way?
As a DM, is it viable to maintain a handful of these altered stat blocks?
Would you want more or less guidance on altering stat blocks?
