Two Heads: The rylak has advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks and on Saving Throws against being [Tooltip Not Found], Deafened, Frightened, Stunned, and knocked Unconscious.
Multiattack. The Rylak makes two attacks: two with its bite, or one with it's bite and a breath attack.
Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature. Hit: 12 (2d8 + 3) piercing damage, plus 3 (1d6) acid or lightning damage, if the rylak has used a breath attack of that type this turn.
Breath Attack (Recharge 5-6). The rylak exhales acid or lightning (it's choice) in a 15-foot cone. Each creature in that cone must make a DC 12 Dexterity saving throw, taking 18 (4d8) acid damage or lightning damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. Once the rylak has used one damage type, it must use the other type before reusing the first. The damage type alternates until the Rylak takes a short or long rest, at which point it is reset.
Description
Tiamat's attempt to create chromatic shock troops. Rylaks aren't as intelligent as their larger relatives, but should be feared nonetheless. Each rylak has two heads, each one has a different breath attack, associated with a different color. Unless they are looking for allies, or under orders from Tiamat, most chromatic dragons ignore or chase off rylaks. Rylaks tend to make nests on the edge of legendary dragon's lairs. They leave offerings of dead creatures or simple treasures, like a house cat's gifts, they are usually not wanted or appreciated by the elder dragons.
The Cerulean Rylak is a fusing of the black and blue dragon types, and as such has both a lightning and acid breath attack. Cerulean Rylaks make their nests where water meets desert. Oases, flood plains, river deltas. Ceruleans give symbols of destruction to black dragons, and precious gems to blues. However, too dumb to discern trash from treasure, they are as likely to offer rubble and glass as they are marble and sapphires. Cerulean Rylaks may keep a personal treasure trove, often whatever they can't identify as magic, nor mineral. Unfortunately, the conditions of wetlands and savanah where they reside cause such treasures to deteriorate. Ceruleans will return from a hunt to find textiles rotting and scrolls faded. They then go on a small rampage, hunting for the "saboteurs" of their nests.
