Traits

Legendary Resistance (3/Day). If the dragon fails a saving throw, it can choose to succeed instead.

Burning Blood When struck by a melee attack, the attacker takes 2d8 fire damage as molten ruby energy erupts from cracks in Zorthan's scales. Aura of Resolve (10 ft.) Allies that start their turn within 10 feet of Zorthan gain: • Advantage against being frightened • Advantage against being charmed Enemies that start their turn within 10 feet must succeed on a DC 19 Wisdom save or suffer disadvantage on their next attack roll. The presence of Ignarion reminds them that their resolve is lesser.

Legendary Resistance (3/day)

Magic Resistance. Advantage on saving throws against spells and magical effects.
