Description
The ominous sound of clicking scales and claws surrounds a flint dragon, whose frighteningly sharp horns and frill gives its head a terrifying appearance. Its angular snout is constantly whipping between its targets, gathering in as much as it can, and its eyes sharpen and focus at those who have wronged it.
Lair and Lair Actions
Seashore caves are the most place to find flint dragon lairs, they are often distinguished by shards of stone being ever present in their caves. When not sleeping or hunting flint dragons practice their aim by splitting long rows of rocks with their stone breath. Flint dragons don't tend to hoard items but rather "hoard" skill, the most valuable thing to a flint dragon is precise aim and they are willing to trade much in order for new ways to become more accurate such as new techniques or magic items.
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:
- Stone shards fly to a space the dragon can see within 120 feet of it, make a ranged attack roll against that creature with a +15 to hit. If it hits the target takes 25 (3d10 + 9) piercing damage. If the attack misses all other creatures in a 10 ft cube must make a dexterity saving throw or take 11 (2d10) piercing damage and have their speed lowered by 10 ft until they heal at least 1 hp.
- The dragon roars, causing sharp stalactites to fall from the ceiling. All creatures currently inside the dragon's lair and within 60 feet of the dragon must make a DC 19 dexterity saving throw or be knocked prone.
- 3 shards of stone rise from the ground and launch themselves each at a random creature that isn't the dragon. Make a ranged attack roll with a +3 modifier. the shards all share this attack roll. All shards hit at the same time.
Regional Effects
The region containing a legendary flint dragon’s lair is warped by the dragon’s magic, which creates one or more of the following effects:
- Shards of stone occasionally rise from the ground a launch themselves at flying creatures.
- The ground surrounding the cave is littered with splinters of rock that seem to gravitate towards living creatures.
If the dragon dies, these effects fade over the course of 1d10 days.
