Description
The result of a strange pairing between a Cheetah and a Dragon the Dragtah gained the speed of the Cheetah, the wings of the dragon, and has a combination of fur and scales that protect its body. Thanks to the Draconic heritage they have a Breath Attack determined by the Draconic Bloodline (Acid, Cold, Fire, Lightening, Poison). These creatures are rare and hard to find but often sought after for their particularly durable pelts. If you can find a baby, you have a good chance of taming and keeping as a pet but beware the older adults. Due to the Draconic heritage, these creatures live as long as Dragons and do not stop growing. Thus, if you find an ancient, your best bet is to walk away lest you incur the wrath.
Lair and Lair Actions
The Lair of the Dragtah is quite unusual all things considered. These Giant Beasts will look for a large cave with some sparse trees and open fields. Being naturally magical creatures it is often you will need to look through a veil to find them. Typically hidden behind an illusion to appear as either a wide open space, sealed off mountain, or heavily forested area (depending on the region) these beasts take full advantage of their surroundings and magical abilities to retain secrecy. Should you happen to stumble into the Lair of a Dragtah, you will find that the illusion only appears as a wall. Within the illusion you will see wild animals that are generally Herbivorous and peaceful moving in herds. The Dragtah's will protect these herds as their primary food source and allow the young to practice hunting. As such you will often be surprised by how many creatures there are in a Dragtah's lair, in various stages of growth, as well as some injured, healing, or in perfect health.
Should you be deemed as a threat to the Dragtah or their young, you will swiftly see all the wildlife run into the cave to be protected as the ground beneath starts to crack and fracture. This will release vents of the Element the Dragtah can use (Acid, Cold, Fire, Lightening, Poison) making the terrain difficult and posing a hazard to any senseless enough to threaten a Dragtah. If you can somehow convince the Dragtah you are not a threat, a sudden reversion of the lands will occur as only the strongest of the wildlife will venture out of the cave. This will leave the adventurer disoriented and confused for 12 seconds until they can once again continue on their way.
