Blood Frenzy. The Crosswick Lake Monster has advantage on melee attack rolls against any creature that doesn't have all its hit points.
Limited Amphibiousness. The Crosswick Lake Monster can breathe air and water, but it needs to be submerged at least once every 4 hours to avoid suffocating.
Shark Telepathy. The Crosswick Lake Monster can magically command any carnivorous fish or snake within 120 feet of it, using a limited telepathy.
Superior Invisibility. As a bonus action, the Crosswick Lake Monstercan magically turn invisible until its concentration ends (as if concentrating on a spell). Any equipment the dragon wears or carries is invisible with it.
Change Shape. The Crosswick Lake Monster magically polymorphs into a humanoid or beast that has a challenge rating no higher than its own, or back into its true form. It reverts to its true form if it dies. Any equipment it is wearing or carrying is absorbed or borne by the new form (the Crosswick Lake Monster choice).
In a new form, the Crosswick Lake Monster retains its alignment, hit points, Hit Dice, ability to speak, proficiencies, and Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma scores, as well as this action. Its statistics and capabilities are otherwise replaced by those of the new form, except any class features or legendary actions of that form.
Multiattack. The Crosswick Lake Monster makes two melee attacks: one with its bite and one with its claws or tail.
Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +3 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 3 (1d4 + 1) piercing damage.
Claws. Melee Weapon Attack: +3 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 3 (1d4 + 1) slashing damage.
Tail. Melee or Ranged Weapon Attack: +3 to hit, reach 5 ft. or range 20/60 ft., one target. Hit: 5 (1d8 + 1)
Steam Breath.(Recharge 5) The dragon exhales a 30-foot cone of scalding steam. Each creature in that area must succeed on a DC 12 Dexterity saving throw, taking 10 (3d6) fire damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. Being underwater doesn't grant resistance against this damage.
Description
60 years ago two kids skipping rocks out on the lake when out of the water came a 14-foot tall, armless, serpent-like creature. The boys noted that the creature had glowing green eyes and massive webbed feet. The boy's fled as the monster pursued them on the shore line. The monster sprouted arms and snatched one of the boys, dragging him nearly 100 yards to a massive sycamore tree on an island in the middle of the Crosswick Lake that was assumed to be its den. The creature is described as being 30 to 40 feet long, 14 feet tall when erect, 16 inches in diameter, and legs 7 feet long. It is covered with scales like a lizard’s, of black and white color with large yellow spots. Its head about 16 inches wide, with a long forked tongue, and the mouth inside deep red.
