Description
Originally created by a mad wizard who sought to combine the divine power of a couatl with the cunning and strength of a dragon by mixing elements form the two in a powerful ritual, however, he was half blind and mistook chicken feathers with cobalt feathers. The resulting creature was an enormous, strong, temperamental being that is now known as a chicken dragon. Chicken dragons are incredibly aggressive even against their own kind. Thanks to this, the number of chicken dragons remains low.
Lair and Lair Actions
Chicken dragons nest atop hills and mountains, only leaving their lair to hunt for food.
Lair Actions
On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), the chicken takes a lair action to cause one of the following effects; the chicken can’t use the same effect two rounds in a row:
- The chicken's lair trembles. Each creature in the lair must succeed on a DC 18 Dexterity saving throw or be knocked prone.
- The chicken lights fire to a 20 by 20 foot section of its lair for 1 round. Each creature that starts its turn in that area must make a DC 18 Dexterity saving throw, taking 36 (8d8) fire damage on a failed save, half that amount on a successful one.
Regional Effects
The region containing a legendary chicken’s lair is warped by the chicken's inherent evil, which creates one or more of the following effects:
- Chickens within 10 miles of the lair congregate and act aggressively toward any other creature.
- Any chicken egg within 30 miles of the lair becomes poisoned and, if eaten, deals 3d8 poison damage to the creature that consumed it.
If the chicken dies, these effects fade over the course of 2d10 days.
