Description
Appearing eerily similar to the mineral known as obsidian. It's body structure is that similar to the Ancient Black Dragon, yet glossy and slightly transparent. It's eyes are as dark and empty as it's scales. It's horns are unconnected and floating by some probable form of magic, with it's wings being some form of black leather.
Lair and Lair Actions
Living in the most unlivable locations for Dwarven folk, resulting in rarely being spotted, often lairs are located in a dormant or active volcano due to the needed sensation of warmth. Often sharing its living area with fire elementals, it often ignores smaller noises.
Lair Actions
On initiative count 2 (losing initiative ties), the Ancient Obsidian 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:
- Summon 3 lesser fire elementals (smoke/fire mephits, or flameskulls)
- Summon 2 medium fire elementals (fire myrmidon)
- Summon 1 large fire elemental
Regional Effects
The region containing a legendary [dragons name]’s lair is casting a regional effect, which creates one or more of the following effects:
- Temperature go ups by 1d10 degrees fahrenheit.
- Mountain/Volcano starts to act up and become more active than before.
- Despell Magic. 120 ft all enemy magic is despelled.
If the Ancient Obsidian Dragon dies, these effects fade over the course of 2d#10days.
