Legendary Resistance (3/Day). If the dragon fails a saving throw, it can choose to succeed instead.
False Appearance. When the dragon remains motionless, it is indistinguishable from a bed.
Multiattack. The dragon can use its Frightful Presence. It then makes three attacks: one with its bite and two with its claws.

If a creature's saving throw is successful or the effect ends for it, the creature is immune to the dragon's Frightful Presence for the next 24 hours.

Description
The bed dragon is what it sounds like: a bed with a dragon head and appendages. This is the adult version of that.
Lair and Lair Actions
A Bed Dragon’s Lair
Bed dragons lair in a house, eternally disguised as a bed. They consume the evil or good who sleep in it. They hide their loot in a dresser.
Throughout the lair, servants (like giant cats, etc.) erect monuments to the dragon’s power, telling the grim story of its life, the enemies it has slain, and the loot it has taken.
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:
- A gale of wooden splinters erupts from a point on the ground the dragon can see within 120 feet of it, creating a 20-foot-high, 5-foot-radius gale. Each creature in the gale’s area must make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw, taking 21 (6d6) piercing damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
- The floorboards go wild in a 60-foot radius around the dragon. Each creature other than the dragon on the ground in that area must succeed on a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw or be knocked prone and knocked back 20 ft..
- Splinters form a cloud in a 10-foot-radius sphere centered on a point the dragon can see within 120 feet of it. The sphere spreads around corners, and its area is heavily obscured. It lasts until initiative count 20 on the next round. Each creature that starts its turn in the cloud must succeed on a DC 13 Constitution saving throw or be blinded until the end of its turn.
Regional Effects
The region containing a legendary bed dragon’s lair is warped by the dragon’s magic, which creates one or more of the following effects:
- Hail showers are common within 6 miles of the dragon’s lair.
- Wood within 1 mile of the lair gain a speed of 5 ft. and have the following action: Hit. Melee Weapon Attack: +2 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 3 (1d4+1) bludgeoning damage
- Grassy fissures within 1 mile of the dragon’s lair form portals to the Elemental Plane of Earth, allowing creatures of elemental earth into the world to dwell nearby.
If the dragon dies, these effects fade over the course of 1d10 days.
