Traits
- Ancient Longevity: Coin Dragons can live for thousands of years, their lifespans extending far beyond most other creatures. Their long lives are marked by an unwavering attachment to their single, treasured gold coin.
- Tiny Hoard Guardian: The Coin Dragon is magically bound to a single gold piece, which it considers its most prized possession. It will never willingly part from its coin, and if forcibly separated, it will take 1d6 psychic damage per hour until reunited.
- Mimicry: The Coin Dragon can mimic simple sounds it has heard, such as a person whispering or a small animal chittering. A creature that hears the sounds can tell they are imitations with a successful DC 14 Wisdom (Insight) check.
- Innate Spellcasting: The Coin Dragon’s innate spellcasting ability is Charisma (spell save DC 13). It can innately cast the following spells, requiring no material components:
- Invisibility (1/Day): The Coin Dragon can cast Invisibility on itself.
- Mage Hand (At Will): The Coin Dragon can cast Mage Hand to move small objects, which is often used to manipulate its hoard or protect its coin from a distance.
- Dragon's Greed: The Coin Dragon has advantage on saving throws against being charmed or frightened if it is within 10 feet of its hoard (the single gold coin).
Actions
- Bite: Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 4 (1d4 + 2) piercing damage.
- Shimmering Breath (Recharge 5-6): The Coin Dragon exhales a shimmering cloud of golden dust in a 15-foot cone. Each creature in that area must succeed on a DC 12 Dexterity saving throw or be blinded until the end of its next turn.
Reactions
- Protect the Hoard: When an enemy within 5 feet of the Coin Dragon reaches for its coin, the dragon can make a bite attack as a reaction.
Description
The Coin Dragon is a tiny, golden-scaled dragon, fiercely devoted to a single gold piece, which it guards as its most prized possession. Despite its small size, the Coin Dragon can live for thousands of years, spending its life protecting this solitary treasure. It’s a cunning creature, capable of turning invisible and using simple magic like Mage Hand to keep its coin safe. If separated from its coin, the Coin Dragon will suffer, taking psychic damage until reunited. This diminutive dragon is elusive, intelligent, and utterly obsessed with its precious hoard, making it a curious and determined adversary for any who seek its treasure.
