Legendary Resistance (3/Day). If the dragon fails a saving throw, it can choose to succeed instead.
Ice Walk. The dragon can move across and climb icy surfaces without needing to make an ability check. Additionally, difficult terrain composed of ice or snow doesn't cost it extra movement.
Duel Minded. The two-headed dragon gets advantage on initiative rolls and saving throws and has two reactions each round (one for each head). Additionally, when casting spells the two-headed dragon can hold two concentration spells, and can cast two spells each round.
Multiattack. The dragon can use its Frightful Presence. It then makes four attacks: two with its bite (one for each head) and two with its claws.
Bite (Red). Melee Weapon Attack: +17 to hit, reach 15 ft., one target. Hit: 21 (2d10 + 10) piercing damage plus 14 (4d6) fire damage. The target is grappled (escape DC 24) if the red dragon head isn't already grappling a creature, and the target is restrained until this grapple ends.
Bite (Blue). Melee Weapon Attack: +14 to hit, reach 15 ft., one target. Hit: 19 (2d10 + 8) piercing damage plus 9 (2d8) cold damage. The target is grappled (escape DC 24) if the blue dragon head isn't already grappling a creature, and the target is restrained until this grapple ends.
Claw. Melee Weapon Attack: +17 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 17 (2d6 + 10) slashing damage.
Tail. Melee Weapon Attack: +17 to hit, reach 20 ft., one target. Hit: 19 (2d8 + 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 21 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.
Fire Breath (Recharge 5–6). The dragon exhales fire in a 90-foot cone. Each creature in that area must make a DC 24 Dexterity saving throw, taking 91 (26d6) fire damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
Cold Breath (Recharge 5–6). The dragon exhales an icy blast in a 90-foot cone. Each creature in that area must make a DC 22 Constitution saving throw, taking 72 (16d8) cold damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
Swallow. The two-headed dragon makes one bite attack against a Large or smaller target it is grappling. If the attack hits, the target is also swallowed, and the grapple ends. While swallowed, the target is blinded and restrained, it has total cover against attacks and other effects outside the two-headed dragon, and it takes 21 (12d10) acid damage at the start of each of the two-headed dragon's turns. A two-headed dragon can have only two creatures swallowed at a time.
If the two-headed dragon takes 40 damage or more on a single turn from the swallowed creature, the two-headed dragon must succeed on a DC 19 Constitution saving throw at the end of that turn or regurgitate the creature, which falls prone in a space within 10 feet of the two-headed dragon. If the two-headed dragon dies, a swallowed creature is no longer restrained by it and can escape from the corpse by using 15 feet of movement, exiting prone.
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.
Detect. The dragon makes a Wisdom (Perception) check.
Tail Attack. The dragon makes a tail attack.
Wing Attack (Costs 2 Actions). The dragon beats its wings. Each creature within 15 feet of the dragon must succeed on a DC 25 Dexterity saving throw or take 17 (2d6 + 10) bludgeoning damage and be knocked prone. The dragon can then fly up to half its flying speed.
Lair and Lair Actions
A Two-Headed Dragon’s Lair
Two-headed dragons lair in high mountains or hills, dwelling in caverns under snow-capped peaks, or within the deep halls of abandoned mines and dwarven strongholds. Caves with volcanic activity and iced peaks are the most highly prized two-headed dragon lairs, creating hazards that hinder intruders and letting searing heat and frigid winds wash over a dragon as it sleeps.
With its hoard well protected deep within the lair, a twin-headed dragon spends as much of its time outside the mountain as in it. For a red dragon, the great heights of the world are the throne from which it can look out to survey all it controls—and the wider world it seeks to control.
Throughout the lair complex, servants erect monuments to the dragon’s power, telling the grim story of its life, the enemies it has slain, and the nations it has conquered.
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:
- Magma erupts from a point on the ground the dragon can see within 120 feet of it, creating a 20-foot-high, 5-foot-radius geyser. Each creature in the geyser’s area must make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw, taking 21 (6d6) fire damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
- A tremor shakes the lair in a 60-foot radius around the dragon. Each creature other than the dragon on the ground in that area must succeed on a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw or be knocked prone.
- Freezing fog forms a cloud in a 20-foot-radius sphere centered on a point the dragon can see within 120 feet of it. The sphere spreads around corners, and its area is lightly obscured. It lasts until initiative count 20 on the next round. Each creature that starts its turn in the cloud must succeed on a DC 13 Constitution saving throw or be petrified until the end of its next turn. While petrified in this way, a creature is incapacitated.
Regional Effects
The region containing a legendary two-headed dragon’s lair is warped by the dragon’s magic, which creates one or more of the following effects:
- Small earthquakes are common within 6 miles of the dragon’s lair.
- Water sources within 1 mile of the lair are supernaturally warm and yet cold enough in some areas to create iceflows.
- Rocky fissures within 1 mile of the dragon’s lair form portals to the Elemental Plane of Fire or Ice, allowing creatures of elemental fire or ice into the world to dwell nearby.
If the dragon dies, these effects fade over the course of 1d10 days.
