Description
Lore
Abyssal Sea Dragons are ancient, deep-ocean dwellers that rule over submerged ruins and abyssal trenches. Unlike surface dragons, they have evolved to thrive in total darkness, with bioluminescent patterns along their scales and the ability to manipulate the ocean itself. Some say they are older than the gods, remnants of an age when dragons swam before they flew.
They are highly intelligent but rarely interact with surface dwellers unless disturbed. Their hoards are not made of gold but pearls, sunken artifacts, and enchanted shipwrecks. Some whisper that these dragons know the location of Tharizdun’s sunken chains, holding secrets even the Memory Hag cannot recall.
Appearance
- Sleek, eel-like body covered in iridescent blue-green scales that shift like the ocean's surface.
- Webbed wings that function as powerful fins.
- Long, bioluminescent tendrils extending from the head and jaw, resembling deep-sea creatures.

Lair Actions
The Abyssal Sea Dragon’s lair is an oceanic abyss filled with shipwrecks, lost treasures, and ancient secrets. On initiative count 20, it can use one of the following lair actions:
- Crushing Depths. The water pressure increases suddenly. All creatures without water breathing take 4d10 bludgeoning damage and have disadvantage on Strength saves for 1 round.
- Hallucinatory Currents. The dragon creates an illusionary mirage of sunken figures or memories, forcing creatures in its lair to make a DC 18 Wisdom save or be frightened for 1 minute.
- Tidal Collapse. A wave of water surges through the lair. All creatures must make a DC 20 Dexterity save or be flung 30 feet and restrained in a vortex until they escape with a DC 18 Strength check.
