Description
All Blue Eyes White Dragons trace their ancestry to both Chromatic and Metallic dragons. Every now and then, however, a Blue Eyes finds itself, whether through ideology, disposition, or genetic mutation, manifesting traits of one side of its heritage more than the other. These dragons develop unique forms and abilities not found in other Blue Eyes White Dragons, making their already awesome might even more formidable.
This Blue Eyes could be described as all the worst traits of the average Blue Eyes White Dragon taken to the extreme. It has an evil personality more in line with the proclamations of Tiamat and its Blue Dragon heritage, but somehow with none of its lawful leanings. Indeed, this dragon embodies chaos, in behavior and essence. Even more aggressive than the rare Blue Eyes Alternative White Dragon, the Blue Eyes Chaos Dragon is an engine of destruction that destroys just for the sake of destruction, kills just for the sake of killing, and abhors any form of peace and tranquility. So deeply ingrained is this mindset of chaos, that even its own innate power has warped into something that can mess with the laws of the world by itself. To this day, no one knows how this subspecies of Blue Eyes came into being, whether through some random mutation, a short-sided wizard’s arcane ritual gone wrong, or a push from Tiamat herself to bring this dragon species back to its evil roots. Either way, the Blue Eyes Chaos Dragon is a menace to all in its path and holds the distinction of being the only Blue Eyes dragon species to be abhorred by the Order with Eyes of Blue.
Lair and Lair Actions
It was with great effort and support from both the Azure Eyes Silver Dragons and Blue Eyes Spirit Dragons that the Order with Eyes of Blue successfully defeated the Blue Eyes Chaos Dragons and banished them away to the Elemental Plane of Chaos. There, they like to nest in places where influxes of chaotic magic are common, feeding off it to further strengthen their own chaotic essence. Since their banishment, no Blue Eyes Chaos Dragon has been reported to remain in the material planes, much less a Blue Eyes Chaos Dragon lair. However, dark forces with nefarious intent have used profane rituals to summon one from time to time in the past, typically when they needed a beast of mass destruction to demolish whatever lay in their path. Such a practice is risky; the Blue Eyes Chaos Dragon cares not for allegiance or honor and will just as easily turn its power on its summoner when given the chance; Only those whose power is great enough to conquer their own will the dragons listen to, and even then, they will quickly turn if a moment of weakness is sensed. In present times, any Blue Eyes Chaos Dragon encountered outside the Elemental Plane of Chaos will have been summoned from there by some dumb shmuck, who then proceeded to lose control of it (and likely their lives as well). Given their destructive (and not at all subtle) nature, these dragons tend to not last long enough to create a lair before the forces of the Order with Eyes of Blue or some other good-aligned force rallies to destroy them. Any lair they do take is usually whatever suitable dwelling still remains in the wake of their destruction (abandoned structures, deserted caves, ruins, etc.). The Blue Eyes Chaos Dragon cares only for destruction, not treasure of any form. They do not create treasure hordes. In fact, the reward for successfully slaying a Blue Eyes Chaos Dragon would come from the Order with Eyes of Blue in gratitude for your help. The Blue Eyes Chaos Dragon’s chaos infused body and essence could also prove immensely interesting and useful to the research of a cunning wizard if studied, provided they are willing to accept the potential consequences for doing so.
Lair Actions
On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), the Blue Eyes Chaos Dragon takes a lair action to cause one of the following effects:
- The chaotic aura of the Blue Eyes Chaos Dragon flares outward, discombobulating all those present. All creatures within 60 ft of the dragon must make a DC 22 Wisdom saving throw or suffer the effects of the Confusion spell. This effect lasts until initiative count 20 on the next round.
- A cloud of sand swirls about in a 20-foot-radius sphere centered on a point the dragon can see within 120 feet of it. The cloud spreads around corners. Each creature in the cloud must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or be blinded for 1 minute. A creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.
- The ambient chaotic energy within the air of the lair grows thick, dulling the arcane senses. Until initiative count 20 on the next round, all enemy creatures have disadvantage when making Concentration checks on maintaining spells.
- [In the Elemental Plane of Chaos only] The Blue Eyes Chaos Dragon draws in some of the ambient chaotic energy from the surrounding environment. The dragon regains a use of its Call of Chaos, and its breath weapon is automatically recharged. Once this lair action is used, it cannot be used again until each other lair action has been used.
Regional Effects
The region containing a Blue Eyes Chaos Dragon’s lair is warped by the dragon’s presence, which creates one or more of the following effects.
- The chaotic essence of the Blue Eyes Chaos Dragon has messed with the flow of arcane energy in the surrounding area, producing unusual effects on magic. When a creature casts as spell within 5 miles of the dragon’s lair, they need to roll a d20. On a 17 or higher, the spell is treated as if it is wild magic and the caster has to roll on the wild magic table. If the lair is located in the Elemental Plane of Chaos, this effect trigger on a roll of 10 or higher.
- A chaotic miasma has settled in the air, creating auditory and visual hallucinations at random. Any creature within 5 miles of the Blue Eyes Chaos Dragon’s lair has to make a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw or experience a brief hallucination. This hallucination can be anything as simple as a disembodied shout or as complex as a full-on mirage. How often these occur is left up to the DMs discretion.
- The Blue Eyes Chaos Dragon’s path of destruction has driven away all wildlife from the surrounding area, including beasts and monstrosities with a CR of below 20. No wild creature remains within 5 miles of the dragon’s lair, unless its nature is such that it was drawn to the area by the dragon’s actions.
If the dragon dies or moves its lair elsewhere, these effects end immediately.
