Lavaice Walk. The drake can move across and climb icy, earthen, and lightly-lava-covered surfaces without needing to make an ability check. Additionally, difficult terrain composed of ice, snow doesn't cost it extra movement.
Lesser Legendary Resistance (3/Day). If the drake fails a saving throw, it can choose to reroll it with advantage.
Multiattack. The drake makes three melee attacks and then uses its Bolt Spit.
Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +9 to hit, reach 5 ft., 1 target. Hit: 18 (3d6+5) piercing damage plus 7 (2d6) fire or lightning damage (drake's choice).
Horns. Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 5 ft., 1 target. Hit: 13 (3d4+5) piercing damage plus 3 (1d6) bludgeoning damage.
Claw. Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 5 ft., 1 target. Hit: 12 (2d6+5) slashing damage.
Tail. Melee Weapon Attack: +9 to hit, reach 10 ft., 1 target. Hit: 14 (2d8+5) bludgeoning damage plus 13 (3d4+5) piercing damage.
Bolt Spit. RangedWeapon Attack: +5 to hit, range 35/260 ft., 1 target. Hit: 10 (2d8) lightning damage.
Giant Crack (Recharge 3-6). The drake channels primal, warring energy through its body to cause a 20 foot long, 15 foot wide glowing orange fiery crack to appear within 10 ft of a Large or smaller creature. That creature must make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw or take 10 (2d8) fire damage and be knocked prone and grappled by being trapped in the crack (escape DC 16), or half as much damage and just be knocked prone 15 feet away from the crack on a success. While grappled in this way, the creature takes 3 fire damage at the start of each of its turns for 1 round, after which the crack disperses and the grappled creature, if it has not escaped yet, falls prone in a space within 10 ft of the crack.
Thunderbolt Laser (Recharge 5-6). The drake unleashes a flaming electric laser blast from its chest in a 35 ft long, 15 ft wide line. Each creature in that area must make a DC 16 Dexterity saving throw, taking 23 (7d4) fire damage and 23 (7d4) lightning damage on a failed save, or a third as much on a success.

Posted Feb 25, 2025I will be putting this into my homebrew / Greyhawk adventure to discourage my level 4 party from going somewhere I don't want them. My entire party has a rather interesting obsession with all things thunder and lightning, so we'll see how they react to this. Personally I can't wait!
Edit: They are level four right now. By the time we get to this adventure, they''l probably be level 6 or 7.

Posted May 14, 2025That's awesome! I hope they have a very cool encounter. I originally made this creature to be a miniature Kaiju that can be a major threat to a large town, but you can probably think of something cooler.
