Description
The most ancient chromatic dragons, who have survived over twelve hundred years of mortal life and acquired vast hoards worth millions of gold pieces, can achieve a form of apotheosis, reaching a level of power approaching that of Tiamat’s mighty aspect. The competitive avarice of dragonkind and the interference of adventurers prevent most dragons from attaining this level of power. But a chromatic dragon who can outwit all rivals and overcome all potential thieves can rise to become one of the mightiest of dragons.
Often a chromatic greatwyrm’s ascension involves fusing the power of a single dragon’s echoes across different worlds of the Material Plane. The black greatwyrm Chronepsis, for example, is said to have stalked multiple worlds and devoured many of his echoes before withdrawing to a planar lair in the Outlands. The red greatwyrm Ashardalon worked with a balor to ritually drain the power of his echoes, then infused their power into himself by implanting the balor where his heart had been.
In both size and power, chromatic greatwyrms exceed even ancient dragons. The energy of their breath weapons courses over their bodies and glows under their scales, and elemental forces rage around them when they exert their wrath. They no longer need to eat or drink, as their vast hoards magically sustain them. And their power can raze a city to the ground, destroying buildings and defenders alike.
Lair and Lair Actions
Vor'Tukkar has claimed the greatest peak in the Drakis Mountains as the seat of its power. Having carved the peak into a crystal cauldron fit for a citadel, he rules over his domain with a ferocity few other Dragons could ever hope to match. It's home is open to the sky that Vor'Tukkar claims for itself.
Thunderstorms rage around Vor'Tukkar’s lair, and narrow tubes lined with glassy sand ventilate the lair, all the while avoiding the deadly sinkholes that are the dragon’s first line of defense.
A blue dragon will collapse the caverns that make up its lair if that lair is invaded. The dragon then burrows out, leaving its attackers to be crushed and suffocated. When it returns later, it collects its possessions — along with the wealth of the dead intruders.
Lair Actions
On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), Vor'Tukkar takes a lair action to cause one of the following effects; the dragon can’t use the same effect two rounds in a row:
- Hail pounds above one creature that the dragon can see within 120 feet of it. The creature must succeed on a DC 18 Dexterity saving throw or take 10 (3d6) bludgeoning damage, 10 (3d6) cold damage, and be knocked prone. While prone, Vor'Tukkar gets advantage on all attacks against the creature.
- A swirl of lighting and dust appears in a 20-foot-radius cylinder centered on a point the dragon can see within 300 feet of it. The cloud spreads around corners. Each creature in the cloud must succeed on a DC 18 Constitution saving throw or take 10 (3d6) lightning damage and be paralyzed for 1 minute. A creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.
- Within a 120 feet of Vor'Tukkar that it can see, two air elementals appear under Vor'Tukkar's control. These air elementals will last until they are killed or Vor'Tukkar dismisses them.
Regional Effects
The region containing a legendary blue dragon’s lair is warped by the dragon’s magic, which creates one or more of the following effects:
- Thunderstorms rage within 15 miles of the lair.
- Stormborn scour the land within 10 miles of the lair.
- Hidden sinkholes form in and around the dragon’s lair. A sinkhole can be spotted from a safe distance with a successful DC 20 Wisdom (Perception) check. Otherwise, the first creature to step on the thin crust covering the sinkhole must succeed on a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw or fall 1d6 × 10 feet into the sinkhole.
If Vor'Tukkar dies, the Stormborn disappear immediately, and the thunderstorms abate within 1d10 days. Any sinkholes remain where they are.
