Brown dragons can lair in almost any environment but they prefer hostile places which can be fortified and have open rooms for the dragon to move. Brown dragons additionally will attempt to fill their lairs will mud for camouflage and may construct artificial waterfalls to create mud and detonate their sodium breath.
Brown dragons obsess with perfecting their horde and their lair attempting to create an ideal environment. Brown dragons often become hyper fixated on competing collections and matching sets, they surround themselves with beautiful things, impressive monuments and rare items.
Throughout the lair complex, servants erect monuments and make intricate carvings to the appease the dragon, many servants will also search for rare antiquities and relics to add to the dragon's horde, usually completing a set.
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:
- Magma erupts from a point on the ground the dragon can see within 120 feet of it, creating a 20-foot-high, 5-foot-radius geyser. Each creature in the geyser’s area must make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw, taking 21 (6d6) fire damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
- Lightning strikes a point within 120ft of the dragon. a creature on that point must make a DC 18 DEX save taking 24 (6d8) lightning damage on a fail or half as much on a success.
- A tremor shakes the lair in a 60-foot radius around the dragon. Each creature other than the dragon on the ground in that area must succeed on a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw or be knocked prone.
- Toxic gases form a cloud in a 20-foot-radius sphere centered on a point the dragon can see within 120 feet of it. The sphere spreads around corners, and its area is lightly obscured. It lasts until initiative count 20 on the next round. Each creature that starts its turn in the cloud must succeed on a DC 13 Constitution saving throw or be poisoned until the end of its turn. While poisoned in this way, a creature is incapacitated.

- Water sources within 1 mile of the lair are supernaturally warm and salty.
