Traits
Magical Resistance
The dragon has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.
Unstable Form
If the dragon takes 15 or more damage in one round, it automatically shifts to a new random form at the start of its next turn. At the start of each of its turns, or immediately after it takes 30 or more damage in a single turn, the dragon shifts into a new form. Roll a d6 or choose a form.
Corrupted Genes
When the Chromatic Flux Dragon is reduced to 0 hit points, it undergoes a horrific transformation. Its body becomes grotesque, bloated, and covered with pulsing cysts, as if taken over by a parasite. Its scales turn a dark, sickly purple color, and the dragon is now too bloated to fly.

Prideful: Aware of its unique nature and power, the dragon possesses a strong sense of pride. It expects respect and can react harshly to any perceived slights.
Mercurial: Its mood can change rapidly, from contemplative to wrathful, mirroring the chaotic energies it embodies.
Not Innately Malevolent: While the dragon can be dangerous and destructive, it is not evil for evil's sake. Its actions are often driven by a desire for balance through chaos or the pursuit of knowledge.
