Amphibious. The dragon can breathe air and water.
Legendary Resistance (3/Day). If the dragon fails a saving throw, it can choose to succeed instead.
Multiattack. The dragon can use its Frightful Presence. It then makes three attacks: one with its bite and two with its claws.
Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +11 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 40 (6d10 + 10) piercing damage plus 6 (1d12) acid damage.
Claw. Melee Weapon Attack: +11 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 28 (5d6 + 10) slashing damage.
Tail. Melee Weapon Attack: +11 to hit, reach 15 ft., one target. Hit: 38 (7d8 + 10) bludgeoning damage.
Frightful Presence. Each creature of the dragon's choice that is within 120 feet of the dragon and aware of it must succeed on a DC 30 Wisdom saving throw or become frightened for 1 minute. 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.
Acid Breath (Recharge 5–6). The dragon exhales acid in a 60-foot line that is 5 feet wide. Each creature in that line must make a DC 25 Dexterity saving throw, taking 120 (12d20) acid damage on a failed save, 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.
Breath Weapon. The dragon uses it's breath weapon.
Tail Attack. The dragon makes a tail attack.
Wing Attack (Costs 2 Actions). The dragon beats its wings. Each creature within 10 feet of the dragon must succeed on a DC 26 Dexterity saving throw or take 13 (2d6 + 6) bludgeoning damage and be knocked prone. The dragon can then fly up to half its flying speed.

Posted Dec 12, 2023Ok, I really like the idea but here's a little constructive criticism:
First, its kinda squishy with vulnerability to necrotic and radiant damage. Necrotic is a quite common damage type for spells and radiant is a common extra damage on magic weapons like the sun sword. It should be resistant to non magical attacks and maybe other stuff, maybe immune to cold so it can survive in space if it's alien? Second, attacks actually don't do that much damage, bite does 54 on average which doesn't even deal half of a level 20 characters HP, claw does about 24 which is about a quarter of a level 20's HP, and tail does about 50. The breath attack is the most damage dealing, doing about 79. Overall the dragon deals about 247 damage a round, which isn't bad but I think it should do at least 300. Third, frightful presence is brutal. 1 minute in D&D fifth edition is 10 rounds of combat, and you state each creature within 120 feet. Each creature is too much, you could frighten an entire party and basically stop them from fighting it unless they get an extremely lucky DC30 save on a D20 which is hard even for a level 20. Wisdom Isn't often a skill that players build too much on unless it's their spellcasting ability score, so most characters will fail it and basically stop fighting because of the range.
As I said I love the idea of an alien dragon- but could you do a description?
Otherwise its great!
