Description

The Draxolotl: Keepers of Hidden Depths

In the concealed recesses of coastal caverns and hidden underwater realms, the Draxolotls dwell—a secretive fusion of dragon might and aquatic grace. Shy by nature, these enigmatic beings shroud themselves in the luminescent hues of their submerged sanctuaries, avoiding the prying eyes of sailors and coastal wanderers.

At first glance, the Draxolotl might seem elusive and withdrawn, preferring the shadowy depths to the limelight of open waters. Yet, beneath the rippling surface, an ancient instinct pulses—their predatory prowess ignited by the thrill of the hunt. These elusive creatures are known for their formidable battles against the colossal sea-faring dragon turtles that roam the coastal regions.

In the ebb and flow of the tide, the Draxolotl emerges, a fleeting dance of serpentine grace. With scales reflecting the vibrant hues of coral reefs and eyes gleaming with intelligence, they glide effortlessly through the water. Their movements are deliberate, each undulation a testament to the harmony of dragon and axolotl traits.

When the Draxolotl senses the approach of unwary prey or potential threats, it retreats into the hidden alcoves of its lair, its shy demeanor concealing the strength that lies within. Those who venture too close to the reefs and beaches guarded by these creatures may catch only glimpses of the luminescent trails left in their wake.

Yet, when provoked or when the hunger for dragon turtle quarry beckons, the Draxolotl transforms. In battle, it becomes a force to be reckoned with—a blend of dragon's ferocity and the unpredictable nature of its axolotl lineage. Its cunning intellect and mastery of the aquatic realm make it a relentless adversary, and those who underestimate the Draxolotl quickly discover the peril hidden beneath its shy exterior.

The coasts and reefs they call home bear the scars of their territorial battles, a testament to the delicate balance between the secretive guardians of the hidden depths and the world beyond.

Lair and Lair Actions

Lair: Submerged Sanctum

Description:

The Draxolotl's lair is a hidden underwater cavern, adorned with luminescent moss and crystals. The water within the cavern is magically infused, providing the Draxolotl with a home that caters to both its draconic and aquatic nature. A mix of natural underwater tunnels and carefully crafted chambers create an intricate lair.

Lair Actions:

1. Watery Surge:

  • Water bursts forth from the walls, creating difficult terrain in a 20-foot radius centered on a point the Draxolotl can see within 120 feet. This water lasts until initiative count 20 on the next round. Any creature in the area when the water appears must succeed on a DC 15 Strength saving throw or be pushed 10 feet in a random direction and knocked prone.

2. Luminous Distraction:

  • The lair manipulates its luminescent moss and crystals to create illusory images. Shadows dance around the cavern, causing confusion. Each creature in the lair that is not behind total cover must succeed on a DC 16 Wisdom saving throw or be charmed until the end of its next turn.

3. Aquatic Resurgence:

  • The lair channels magical energy into the water, healing the Draxolotl. The Draxolotl regains 20 hit points.

Lair Traits:

1. Aquatic Blessing:

  • The Draxolotl and its minions have advantage on saving throws against being paralyzed or stunned while in the lair.

2. Dim Light Manipulation:

  • The lair can manipulate the ambient light, creating dim light or darkness as it wishes. This ability extends up to 60 feet from the lair's center.

3. Current Control:

  • The Draxolotl can control the water currents within the lair, granting it advantage on initiative rolls.
