Description

The Barthran is a beast of extraordinary strength and endurance. Around 50 ft in length and 16 ft in height, it is a heavily built pseudodragon whose physical strength is shadowed only by its magical power, equal to a level 5 warlock. It knows some select spells which all exit from its mouth, similar to the breath weapon of pure dragons. It is squat and muscly, more like a bear or crocodile than its leaner cousins.

Lair and Lair Actions

This creature has no lair and instead roams the countryside, occasionally settling down for a year or two. Ironically, it is a highly territorial beast that will defend its chosen patch.
