Lair and Lair Actions
Underworld Dragons reside in dark, moist caves within the underdark filled with ancient artifacts and decorated with the withered, shriveled remains previous victims and the fly-ridden carcasses of fresh kills. Zombie servants can commonly be found guarding these lairs
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:
- Pools of poison that the dragon can see within 130 feet of it surge outward in a grasping tide. Any creature on the ground within 60 feet of such a pool must succeed on a DC 17 Strength saving throw or be pulled up to 60 feet into the poison and knocked prone and poisoned.
- A horde of skeletal bats fills a 50-foot-radius sphere centered on a point the dragon chooses within 130 feet of it. The horde spreads around corners and remains until the dragon dismisses it as an action, uses this lair action again, or dies. The area is lightly obscured. Any creature in the area when it appears must make on a DC 17 Constitution saving throw, taking 20 (4d10) piercing damage plus 10 (1d20) necrotic damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. A creature that ends its turn in the area takes 20 (4d10) piercing damage plus 10 (1d20) necrotic damage.
- Magical darkness spreads from a point the dragon chooses within 100 feet of it, filling a 50-foot-radius sphere until the dragon dismisses it as an action, uses this lair action again, or dies. The darkness spreads around corners. A creature with darkvision can’t see through this darkness, and nonmagical light can’t illuminate it. If any of the effect’s area overlaps with an area of light created by a spell of 4th level or lower, the spell that created the light is dispelled.
Regional Effects
The region containing the infamous underworld dragon lair is warped by the dragon’s magic, which creates one or more of the following effects:
- The land within 13 miles of the lair takes twice as long as normal to traverse and doubles the rate of exhaustion, since the dragon's aura eats away at the stamina of the living .
- Water sources within 3 miles of the lair are supernaturally fouled and deadly. Enemies of the dragon that drink such water suffer 10 (1d20) poison damage and get the poisoned condition.
- A dark poisonous mist heavily obscures the land within 9 miles of the lair.
If the dragon dies, vegetation remains as it has grown, but other effects fade over 1d10 days.
