Multiattack. The dragon makes three attacks: one with its bite and two with its claws.
Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 16 (2d10 + 5) piercing damage.
Claw. Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 15 (2d8 + 5) slashing damage.
Breath Weapons (Recharge 5–6). The dragon uses one of the following breath weapons.
Force Breath. The dragon exhales pure magical force in an 60-foot line that is 10 feet wide. Each creature in that line must make a DC 15 Intelligence saving throw, taking 55 (10d10) force damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
Blinding Breath. The dragon exhales fine particles of dust in a 20-foot cone. Each creature in that area must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or become blinded for 1 minute. This effect ends for a creature if the creature succeeds on a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw or if the blindness is cured, magical or otherwise.
Description
Amethyst dragons have glittering violet and lilac scales that give them the appearance of being encrusted in amethysts. They have jutting lower jaw and a row of violet spines running down the entire lengths of their bodies. Their wings are comperatively small and make Amethyst dragons poor flyers, but their strong legs and long claws make them excellent burrowers.
Amethyst dragon wyrmlings have scales of dull violet. As they age, their scales become more vibrant and brilliant, taking their crystalline appearance when they reach adulthood.
Amethyst dragons have a reputation of being wise even by dragon standards. They are excentric and rarely take sides, preferring to observe and to stay hidden while their chromatic and metallic cousins battle with each other.
