The pan loong make their homes in the midst of lush gardens and forests, especially those that have cultivated shrines, temples, and groves. Firmly dedicated to nature and to the wild in general, pan loong defend their homes with illusions and thorns, warding off those who would desecrate the natural beauty they inhabit.
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.

- The pan loong conjures 1d8 venomous snakes or 1d4 constrictor snakes, which appear within 10 feet of the nearest hostile creature.
- Magical illusory fog billows around one creature the dragon can see within 120 feet of it. The creature must succeed on a DC 20 Wisdom saving throw or be blinded by the dragon until initiative count 20 on the next round.
Regional Effects
The region containing a legendary pan loong's lair is warped by the dragon’s magic, which creates one or more of the following effects:
- The pan loong conjures an illusion of dense foliage or a field of flowers to conceal their lair, which spans a mile radius. A creature can make a DC 20 Intelligence (Investigation) check to discern that the terrain is illusionary. On a success, the illusion cannot affect that creature for 24 hours, and the creature sees the illusion superimposed on the real terrain.
- Within 1 mile of its lair, the dragon can throw their voice as if speaking with ventriloquism, attempting to use hallucinatory sounds and speech to lure creatures away from discovering the lair. A creature who succeeds on a DC 15 Wisdom (Perception) check can determine that the voice is illusory.
- Fish, lizards, and any other scaled Beasts within 1 mile of the dragon’s lair serve as the dragon’s eyes and ears, and the dragon can control their minds (if their Intelligence is less than 10), forcing them to attack or defend their home.
