Lair and Lair Actions
A Wasteland Greatwrym's Lair
Dark-tempered beasts rule the blasted wastes with a merciless territoriality, wasteland dragons prowl among the ruins of dead cities and dust-blown, haunted and barren lands that once were verdant. The lair may be the remains of a volcanic caldera, meteor impact, or similar site of calamitous devastation.
Lair Actions
On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), the greatwrym takes a lair action to cause one of the following effects:
- The greatworm creates a magical cloud of dust originating at a point within the lair as with the fog cloud spell. The cloud lasts until initiative count 20 on the next round.
- A thunderclap originates at a point the greatworm can see within 120 feet of it. Each creature within a 20-foot radius centered on that point must make a DC 20 Constitution saving throw or take 10 (2d10) thunder damage and be deafened until the end of its next turn.
- The greatwrym causes sharp shards of broken stone to fill an area within the lair as with the spike growth. The damage for this effect is increased to 2d8 for this effect and the ground is not camouflaged. The effect lasts until imitative count 20 on the next round.
Regional Effects
The region containing a Wasteland Greeter's lair is warped by the it's presence.
- Once per day, the dragon can alter the weather in a 6-mile radius centered on its lair. The dragon doesn’t need to be outdoors; otherwise the effect is identical to the control weather spell. The dragon has a tendancy to supress
- Surface water in the area evaporates at double the rate it otherwise would, and any saving throws related to dehydration are made with disadvantage.
If the dragon dies, changed weather reverts to normal, as described in the spell, and the other effects fade in 1d10 days.
