Everyone, I’d like you to meet Gourdelia Jackie O’Lantern!
Gourdie was never really all that good at being a scarecrow. So she turned her head in another direction: studying magic! Now she flies over the fields of grain and corn to beckon the crows away to her home, where she happily feeds them her own crops.
Her familiar, Stuart, chooses not to fly. He’s a lazy thing, really.

Alterra Flavor Cravings: Scarecrows

From the Age of Exploration Monster Manual (initial draft)
Scarecrows: Slow, rickety, and not very bright, Scarecrows act as a convenient punching bag for adventurers looking to blow off some aggression. Scarecrows are typically found on or near farmland or along overgrown paths. These shambling dummies are often made of sticks, straw, or small rocks that have been stuffed into old and tattered humanoid clothing that has been enchanted to perform simple tasks like scare away critters, or pull unwanted weeds. Unfortunately, the enchantments on scarecrows will become faulty over time, leading them to mistake people for “critters” and “weeds,” and try to get rid of them. Fortunately, once a Scarecrow is defeated, the enchantment will wear off, so it wouldn’t be uncommon for players to complete part of a quest by assisting other characters deal with a scarecrow that’s gone “haywire.”
