Amphibious. The dragon can breathe air and water.
Legendary Resistance (3/Day). If the dragon fails a saving throw, it can choose to succeed instead.
Multiattack. The dragon can use its Frightful Presence. It then makes three attacks: one with its bite and two with its claws.
Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +11 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 17 (2d10 + 6) piercing damage plus 4 (1d8) acid damage.
Claw. Melee Weapon Attack: +11 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 13 (2d6 + 6) slashing damage.
Tail. Melee Weapon Attack: +11 to hit, reach 15 ft., one target. Hit: 15 (2d8 + 6) bludgeoning damage.
Frightful Presence. Each creature of the dragon's choice that is within 120 feet of the dragon and aware of it must succeed on a DC 16 Wisdom saving throw or become frightened for 1 minute. A creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. If a creature's saving throw is successful or the effect ends for it, the creature is immune to the dragon's Frightful Presence for the next 24 hours.
Breath Weapons (Recharge 5-6). The dragon uses one of the following breath weapons:
Poison Breath. The dragon exhales poison in a 90-foot cone. Each creature in that area must make a DC 19 Constitution saving throw, taking 66 (12d10) poison damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
Enervation Breath. The dragon exhales gas in a 60-foot cone. Each creature in that area must succeed on a DC 19 Constitution saving throw or have disadvantage on Constitution checks and Constitution saving throws for 1 minute. A creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.
Change Shape. The dragon 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 dragon's choice).
In a new form, the dragon retains its alignment, hit points, Hit Dice, ability to speak, proficiencies, Legendary Resistance, lair actions, 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.
The dragon can take 3 legendary actions, choosing from the options below. Only one legendary action option can be used at a time and only at the end of another creature's turn. The dragon regains spent legendary actions at the start of its turn.
Detect. The dragon makes a Wisdom (Perception) check.
Tail Attack. The dragon makes a tail attack.
Wing Attack (Costs 2 Actions). The dragon beats its wings. Each creature within 10 feet of the dragon must succeed on a DC 20 Dexterity saving throw or take 14 (2d6 + 7) bludgeoning damage and be knocked prone. The dragon can then fly up to half its flying speed.
Description
Lead dragons are intelligent and wise, though they are also competent combatants. They are friendly enough, if somewhat aloof and arrogant at times.
Lead dragons are incredibly stocky and heavy. A great many spikes of all different sizes emerge from a lead dragon's thick head. A newly hatched lead dragon has somewhat dull grey scales, and as it ages, a lead dragon's scales grow thicker and tougher, though their scales always appear duller than those of most other metallic dragons. A lead dragon's pupils fade as it ages, and the eyes of the oldest lead dragons look like glowing grey orbs.
Fierce Combatants. A lead dragon has poisonous breath that can cause a myriad of detrimental bodily effects, though it rarely uses its breath in combat unless it sees a dire need to, as it prefers to hack away with its claws and tear foes to pieces with its fangs.
A lead dragon focuses its attacks on a single troublesome foe, only diverting its attention to drive its allies away.
Toxic Treasures. A lead dragon's favored treasures are objects made from or including components made from lead. Lead dragons also like to collect dark-colored gems, such as onyxes and unusually dark sapphires.
Lair and Lair Actions
A lead dragon builds its lair by a rock-studded coast, typically in a cave system that can only be accessed via underwater entrances.
Lair Actions
On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), the dragon takes a lair action to cause one of the following effects; the dragon can't use the same effect two rounds in a row:
- Pools of water that the dragon can see within 120 feet of it surge outward in a grasping tide. Any creature on the ground within 20 feet of such a pool must succeed on a DC 15 Strength saving throw or be pulled up to 20 feet into the water and knocked prone.
- A cloud of poison billows around a point the dragon can see within 120 feet of it. Each creature within a 20-foot radius centered on that point must make a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or take 10 (3d6) poison damage.
Regional Effects
The region containing a legendary lead dragon's lair is warped by the dragon's magic, which creates one or more of the following effects:
- The land within 6 miles of the lair is lightly obscured by fog.
- Lead within 1 mile of the dragon's lair sparkles and gleams, shedding dim light in a 5-foot radius.
- Water sources within 1 mile of the lair are supernaturally fouled. Enemies of the dragon that drink such water regurgitate it within minutes. Creatures that aren't enemies of the dragon find it to be normal water.
If the dragon dies, these effects fade over the course of 1d10 days.
