Lair and Lair Actions
A Dracolichen's Lair
Dracolichens dwell in enormous, warm and damp caverns within forests. They favour anywhere that fungi can thrive. Over time, mould grows over most surfaces and plants; beasts that die are reanimated as fungal zombies.
The challenge rating of a legendary dracolichen increases by 1 when it’s encountered in its lair.
Lair Actions
On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), the dragon can take one of the following lair actions; the dragon can’t take the same lair action two rounds in a row:
Phytoconversion. The dragon causes plants to twist and become horrid spikey thorns. The ground in a 20-foot radius twists and sprouts hard spikes and thorns. The area becomes difficult terrain until the next lair action. When a creature moves into or within the area, it takes 2d4 piercing damage for every 5 feet it travels.
The transformation of the ground is camouflaged to look natural. Any creature that can't see the area at the time the spell is cast must make a DC18 Wisdom (Perception) to recognize the terrain as hazardous before entering it.
