Description
The Purple dragon is characterized by its ability to slip through crowds of people without being noticed. Special padding on its feet makes it nearly unheard and reflective scales make it invisible as well as having malleable bones to allow it to easily bend its shape to maneuver around things without touching them. These creatures make the most hardened and fearless hunter's hair stand on end. This dragon is the embodiment of pure evil. Although it is smaller than its chromatic sisters, it is considered to be the apex predator of dragons as has no restrictions in its diet so it will cannibalize other dragons and their eggs and with a breath weapon that no known create is immune to it easily has the facilities to. Specifically red dragons it likes to go for, the reason likely being its immunity to the highly intense breath weapon of it or the fact that it is much smaller than red dragons making it ego inflation, it could also be the fact they yield more meat or they like the gold in their lairs

Lair Actions
On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), the Ancient Purple Dragon takes a lair action to cause one of the following effects; the Ancient Purple Dragon can’t use the same effect two rounds in a row:
- Mirror Walls: For the next 5 minutes when a player would make a ranged attack and would miss the projectile hits the walls, and roll a d6, on a 1-3 the projectile returns to the player and deals full damage, on a 4-6 the projectile misses.
- Plasma Geyser: The DM chooses 3 tiles on the map that contain hidden traps. When a player would step over a trapped tile they make a dexterity save DC 21. If failed they take 40 (10d8) Plasma damage. The tile recharges after 3 rounds.
- Gravity Well: The dragon selects an area on the map, the air condenses in that area causing all creatures within 200 feet of it to make a strength save DC 22. If failed they are pulled to the selected tile if succeeded they are pulled to a halfway point between the selected tile and where they were.
