Description
Brown dragons dwell in deserts, digging vast domains under the shifting sands. A brown dragon’s lair is an arid cave, grotto, or ruin where the dragon can dessicate and consume their victims. The lair is littered with the acid-pitted bones of previous victims and the gnawed carcasses of fresh kills, watched over by crumbling statues. Centipedes, scorpions, and snakes infest the lair, which is eerily foreboding and would almost smell sterile if not for the stench of meat allowed to rot in the heat.
Lair and Lair Actions
The region containing an adult or ancient brown dragon’s lair is warped by its presence, creating the following effects:
Shifting Terrain. The land within 6 miles of the lair takes twice as long as normal to traverse, since the sands are coarse and slippery, and ground that seems firm often hides holes or predators.
Dessication. Water sources within 1 mile of the lair are supernaturally dried up, and any spell that creates water except those cast by the dragon fail.
If the dragon dies or moves its lair, these effects end immediately.
