Description
Venompine dragons are a species of dragon that make their home in forests. Venompine dragons are arboreal creatures, jumping and gliding from tree to tree. They're highly social creatures, living in clans of 6-8 members that protect the Wyrmlings. Their venom encourages the growth of plant life in the forests they dwell in, making them grow to immense proportions, so they can support the clan members.
Earthshaker
Earthshaker Venompines are a variant of Venompine that evolved in forests with a lower density of close together trees. This forced them to live closer to the ground and so they evolved to burrow better. They grew large, shovel like claws, and nest in between the roots of large trees.
Lair and Lair Actions
The forest dwelling Venompine dragon reside in forests, burrowing through the ground, climbing and jumping through the trees, they make every part of the forest their home. Their venom increases the growth of plant life in the forests they live in. They live in clans of 6-8, they nest in between the roots of large trees.
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 dragon exhales a thick fog from its lungs filling the area. The fog is a 60-foot-radius, 30-foot-high cylinder centered on the dragon, spreads around corners, and its area is heavily obscured. The fog lasts for 1 minute, until a wind of moderate or greater speed (at least 10 miles per hour) disperses it, or when the dragon dies. While the dragon remains in this fog, it can use its Invisible Passage as a free action at the end of its turn
- Poisonous mist billows around one creature the dragon can see within 120 feet of it. The creature must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or be poisoned until initiative count 20 on the next round.
- The Venompine dragon causes 8 small poisonous mushrooms to grow in unoccupied spaces that it chooses within the lair. While the mushrooms are heavily obscured they are considered invisible. A creature that enters a space that the poisonous mushrooms occupy must make a DC 17 Constitution saving throw, taking 11 (3d6) poison damage and become poisoned for 1 minute on a failed save, or half as much damage and are not poisoned on a successful one. A creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the poison on itself on a success.
Regional Effects
The region containing a legendary green dragon’s lair is warped by the dragon’s magic, which creates one or more of the following effects:
- Thickets form labyrinthine passages within 1 mile of the dragon’s lair. The thickets act as 10-foot-high, 10-foot-thick walls that block line of sight. Creatures can move through the thickets, with every 1 foot a creature moves costing it 4 feet of movement. A creature in the thickets must make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw once each round it’s in contact with the thickets or take 3 (1d6) piercing damage from thorns.
Each 10-foot-cube of thickets has AC 5, 30 hit points, resistance to bludgeoning and piercing damage, vulnerability to fire damage, and immunity to psychic and thunder damage. - Within 1 mile of its lair, the dragon leaves no physical evidence of its passage unless it wishes to. Tracking it there is impossible except by magical means. In addition, it ignores movement impediments and damage from plants in this area that are neither magical nor creatures, including the thickets described above. The plants remove themselves from the dragon’s path.
- Plant life within 1 mile of its lair grows exponentially more. Doubling in size.
If the dragon dies, The thickets remain, but within 1d10 days, they become mundane plants and normal difficult terrain, losing their thorns.
