Description
Mithral dragons are natives of the Astral Sea and other divine and celestial planes, though they can be rarely found on the Material Plane. When a mithral dragon comes to the Material Plane it is to due Bahamut's bidding or to face a great evil directly. Mithral dragons are also immortal due to their celestial nature, and much like an angel can never truly die. If a mithral's physical body is destroyed its spirit returns to the side of Bahamut and they are reborn again. Mithral dragons also act as Bahamut's solars.
Nightmare of the Damned. A mithral dragon is feared by creatures such as devils, demons, and the undead, even more than these creatures fear solars. It is said that solars can make demon princes shrink away at its resonate command due to its celestial might, if that is true then a mithral dragon is what haunts these creatures in their most dreadful nightmares. It is also not uncommon for a mithral dragon to get somewhat bored and decide to go rampaging through the Nine Hells or the Abyss.
Bright Treasures. A mithral dragon's favored treasures that shine, glow, or are very reflective, such as glowing magic items and extremely well-polished metals, and its most valued treasure: mithral.
Lair and Lair Actions
A Gold Dragon’s Lair
Gold dragons make their homes in out-of-the-way places, where they can do as they please without arousing suspicion or fear. Most dwell near idyllic lakes and rivers, mist-shrouded islands, cave complexes hidden behind sparkling waterfalls, or ancient ruins.
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:
- The dragon glimpses the future, so it has advantage on attack rolls, ability checks, and saving throws until initiative count 20 on the next round.
- One creature the dragon can see within 120 feet of it must succeed on a DC 15 Charisma saving throw or be banished to a dream plane, a different plane of existence the dragon has imagined into being. To escape, the creature must use its action to make a Charisma check contested by the dragon’s. If the creature wins, it escapes the dream plane. Otherwise, the effect ends on initiative count 20 on the next round. When the effect ends, the creature reappears in the space it left or in the nearest unoccupied space if that one is occupied.
Regional Effects
The region containing a legendary gold dragon’s lair is warped by the dragon’s magic, which creates one or more of the following effects:
- Whenever a creature that can understand a language sleeps or enters a state of trance or reverie within 6 miles of the dragon’s lair, the dragon can establish telepathic contact with that creature and converse with it in its dreams. The creature remembers its conversation with the dragon upon waking.
- Banks of beautiful, opalescent mist manifest within 6 miles of the dragon’s lair. The mist doesn’t obscure anything. It assumes haunting forms when evil creatures are near the dragon or other non-evil creatures in the mist, warning such creatures of the danger.
- Gems and pearls within 1 mile of the dragon’s lair sparkle and gleam, shedding dim light in a 5-foot radius.
If the dragon dies, these effects end immediately.
