Christmas Drake

Festive Aura. The Christmas Drake emits a festive aura in a 30-foot radius. Allies within this aura gain advantage on saving throws against fear effects.

Multiattack. The Christmas Drake makes three attacks: one with its bite and two with its claws.

Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +9 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 15 (2d8 + 6) piercing damage.

Claw. Melee Weapon Attack: +9 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 11 (2d6 + 5) slashing damage.

Tail. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 7 (1d6 + 4) bludgeoning damage.

Frost Breath (Recharge 5-6). The Christmas Drake exhales a cone of frosty mist mixed with sparkling snowflakes in a 30-foot cone. Each creature in that area must make a DC 16 Constitution saving throw, taking 45 (10d8) cold damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

Festive Cheer. The Christmas Drake can use its bonus action to grant an ally within 30 feet temporary hit points equal to 1d10 + its Charisma modifier. The ally also gains advantage on their next attack roll.

Snowflake Dash. The Christmas Drake can use its bonus action to move up to its speed without provoking opportunity attacks. During this movement, it leaves behind a trail of sparkling snowflakes.

Holiday Roar. The Christmas Drake can use its bonus action to emit a joyful roar. All allies within 30 feet gain advantage on saving throws against being frightened until the end of the Drake's next turn.

Frosty Counter. When a creature within 5 feet of the Christmas Drake hits it with a melee attack, the Drake can use its reaction to release a burst of frosty mist. The attacker must succeed on a DC 16 Constitution saving throw or take 10 (3d6) cold damage and have its speed reduced by 10 feet until the end of its next turn.

Twinkling Dodge. When the Christmas Drake is targeted by an attack that it can see, it can use its reaction to impose disadvantage on the attack roll. The Drake's scales shimmer brightly, momentarily blinding the attacker.

Holiday Spirit. When an ally within 30 feet of the Christmas Drake is hit by an attack, the Drake can use its reaction to grant that ally resistance to the damage from the attack. The ally is also surrounded by a comforting aura of holiday cheer, gaining temporary hit points equal to the Drake's Charisma modifier.

The Christmas Drake can take 3 legendary actions, choosing from the options below. Only one legendary action option can be used at a time and only at the end of another creature's turn. The Christmas Drake regains spent legendary actions at the start of its turn.

Detect. The Christmas Drake makes a Wisdom (Perception) check.

Tail Attack. The Christmas Drake makes a tail attack.

Wing Attack (Costs 2 Actions). The Christmas Drake beats its wings. Each creature within 10 feet of the Drake must succeed on a DC 17 Dexterity saving throw or take 13 (2d6 + 6) bludgeoning damage and be knocked prone. The Drake can then fly up to half its flying speed.
