Cauthooj Hop-Dodge

[Goblyn68]

The Cauthooj has a reaction called hop-dodge and the effect reads as follows: The cauthooj nimbly hops aside,redirecting the triggering Strike against the adjacent enemy.

The question is who is the enemy the redirected strike hits. Does it hit another PC(enemy of the cauthooj) or another Cauthooj(enemy of the PC who triggered the effect)?

Typically creature's statblocks are written from the perspective of the creature, not the PCs. In fact, the Cauthooj doesn't necessarily even need to be an enemy of the players, nor should the Cauthooj know who is and isn't an enemy of the player characters. With all that in mind I think it hits another adjacent enemy of the cauthooj that's also within reach of the triggering strike.

Oh, also, technically it doesn't hit the target it's redirected to. Not necessarily anyway. It just redirects the strike. They attacker still needs to roll to hit against the new target's AC. The trigger is also related to being the target of an attack, not that the attack would have hit, so it could waste this reaction on an attack that was going to miss anyway.

Seconded. When an ability refers to 'enemy' or 'ally' it is using those terms as seen by the creature using the ability. So an enemy of the cauthooj in this case.
