Dexterous. Due to the dragon's incredible speed and dexterity, it is able to change targets without opening itself to opportunity attacks.
Multiattack. The dragon can use its Frightful Presence. It then makes three attacks: one with its bite and two with its claws.

A creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. 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.
Salt Breath (Recharge 5–6). The dragon exhales a blast of super-heated salt in a 30-foot cone. Each creature in that area must make a DC 19 Constitution saving throw, taking 66 (15d8) acid damage on a failed save as well as be blinded for the next 3 turns, or half as much damage on a successful one.
The dragon can take 3 legendary actions, choosing from the options below. Only one legendary action option can be used at a time and only at the end of another creature's turn. The dragon regains spent legendary actions at the start of its turn.

Lair and Lair Actions
A Yellow Dragon’s Lair
Yellow dragons prefer to lair in coves near reefs, where they can submerge themselves when they please and use the terrain to their advantage. They become extremely territorial and will attack anything that comes close to their lair without discretion.
A legendary yellow dragon can feel vibrations from the watery depths. It uses this ability to chase prey in the seas, leading to an unnaturally low amount of predators in an area and high amounts of smaller creatures. They can also use this ability to detect intruders that invade it's lair.
A yellow dragon uses it's swimming ability to surprise intruders, and leaps from the water in the bottom of it's cove to strike at the invaders. It uses powerful claw attacks that inflict bleed and concentrated breath attacks to decimate opponents before they realize what is happening.
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 cloud of super-heated salt fills a 20-foot-radius sphere centered on a point the dragon can see within 120 feet of it. The salt spreads around corners. Each creature in the cloud when it appears must make a DC 10 Constitution saving throw, taking 10 (3d6) acid damage and become blinded for a turn on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. A creature that ends its turn in the cloud takes 10 (3d6) acid damage. A wind of at least 20 miles per hour disperses the cloud. The cloud otherwise lasts until the dragon uses this lair action again or until the dragon dies.
- The dragon creates a tidal wave from the water in the cove in a 15ft radius in a point of it's choosing within it's cove. Each creature within range must make a DC 12 Dexterity saving throw, taking 20 (6d6). bludgeoning damage and being knocked prone on a failed save, or taking half as much damage on a successful one.
