Flyby. The abeil doesn't provoke opportunity attacks when it flies out of an enemy's reach.
Hive Mind. Abeil born within the same hive have a form of long-range telepathy similar to the Sending spell. If the abeil is within 25 miles (40 km) of the hive, it can telepathically send a brief message at the start of its turn to another abeil within range. A creature with telepathy can listen to the hive mind communications with a successful Charisma check (DC 16).
