Lair and Lair Actions

Caterpillar Drakes love to make their liars in forest burrows dug into the ground . Since they are covered in grass leaves the entrances to these burrows can be quite hard to spot. With Caterpillar drakes innate control of nature their burrows are often lined with leafs and moss with blooming flowers all around. Butterflies usually flutter around the lair. The liar more often than not has some source of direct sunlight, be it an opening in the ceiling or sun shining through a canopy.

Lair Actions

On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), the Caterpillar Drake takes a lair action to cause one of the following effects; the Caterpillar Drake can’t use the same effect two rounds in a row:

  • Hive-mind. The Drake lets out a ear-shattering cry and summons swarms of insects to it's aid. Roll a 1d4 a number of swarms of either Butterflies (wasps) or caterpillars (centipedes) equal to the number rolled come to aid the drake and take their turns directly after the drake.
  • Bloom.  The flowers around it's lair bloom releasing clouds of blinding pollen. The drake chooses 3 15ft squares around it's lair that get filled with pollen. Any creature within these squares has to make a dc 14 con saving throw or be blinded for 1 minute. The creature can remake the saving throw at the end of it's turn.
