Legendary Resistance (3/Day). If the dragon fails a saving throw, it can choose to succeed instead.
Spellcasting. The dragon is a 9th-level spellcaster. Its spellcasting ability is Charisma (spell save DC 20). It requires no material components to cast its spells. The dragon knows the following spells:
Cantrips (at will): Druidcraft, Minor Illusion, Prestidigitation
1st level (4 slots): Comprehend Languages, Sanctuary, Sleep
2nd level (3 slots): Lesser Restoration, Moonbeam, See Invisibility
3rd level (3 slots): Counterspell, Dispel Magic, Tongues
4th level (3 slots): Arcane Eye, Phantasmal Killer
5th level (1 slot): Dream
Multiattack. The dragon can use its Influential Floral Presence. It then casts a spell or 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: 17 (2d10 + 6) piercing damage.
Claws. Melee Weapon Attack: +11 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 13 (2d6 + 6) slashing damage.
Influential Floral Presence. The dragon reaches into the minds of a group of creatures to learn their deepest fears or greatest desires, then creates illusions using what it has learned. Each creature in a 30-foot-radius sphere centered on a point of the dragon’s choice within 200 feet of the dragon must make a DC 20 Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, a creature becomes either charmed or frightened (the dragon chooses which for the whole group) as it experiences illusions created by the dragon. A creature can repeat its 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 target is immune to this dragon’s Influential Floral Presence for the next 24 hours.
Good Fortune (2/Day). When the dragon sees a creature within 60 feet of it fail a saving throw, attack roll, or ability check, it can bestow a stroke of luck. The target can reroll the d20 with advantage and can choose which result to use.
Description
The elegant cherry blossom dragon is renowned for its beauty. Most cherry blossom dragons grow to be around 30 feet long, but there are records of some as long as 40 feet. Their bodies are long and slender with flowers that grow like manes on their heads and backs, culminating in a tail of trailing petals. Despite their size, cherry blossom dragons are lighter than they seem because their bones are hollow. Without wings, they rely on magic and the wind to carry them through the air. Their aerodynamic physiques allow them to effortlessly navigate the skies.
Cherry blossom dragons live to be around 180 years old, but there are reports of some living to be up to 200. Like their namesake, their flowers go through yearly bloom cycles, blossoming in the spring. While their flowers are dormant, the dragon hibernates, usually in a safe cave in the mountains. When the flowers bloom, they are most often a shade of pink or purple but can be so pale they are almost white.
