Dragons can know if there is an aberration, celestial, elemental, fey, fiend, humanoid, monstrosity, undead, or other fellow dragon within 1 mile of the dragon, as well as where the creature is located if it within 60 of them. Similarly, dragons know if there is a place or object within 30 feet them that has been magically consecrated or desecrated.

Description
Our champaign's version of Gold Dragons. As far as we know they are amphibious creature yet they also breath fire which most likely will disadvantageous in the water. So in my group we agree to make Gold and Green Dragons breath thunder instead. We also make Gold Dragons to be more Asian Dragon by describe them to be more serpentine and give them weather related spells.
This gold dragon is Netraja, a dragon wizard who specialized in divination magic.
Lair and Lair Actions
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.
