Description
The Ancient ancestors to current day faerie dragons, these dragon were among the first of their kind to enter into the feywild many thousands of years ago. They are small when compared to most ancient dragons but easily out do them in speed and quick wittedness. Their scales are a holographic violet, and they have the same distinctive butterfly wings of their younger counterparts.
Renowned Hosts. Much like its modern counter parts, Anicent Faerie Dragons have a fondness for treasures and good company. They will often find ways to trick adventurers passing through their domain into their lairs so they can trade stories and current events. These dragons are gracious hosts and will treat guest to their homes with the upmost kindness and curiosity, they only asking for the smallest of things in exchange. They covet stories, oddities, trinkets and anything new to them.
Arcane Tricksters. These Dragons are innate masters of the magical arts with a particular fondness for illusion and enchantment. If ever in a fit of boredom, the most keen sighted of mortals may spot this dragon making mischief. A foe to this dragon is but a toy to ease boredom, and friends to this legendary beast may find themselves in over their heads helping stage incredibly elaborate pranks. The Faerie Dragon does not take kindly to boring things and will usually try and "improve" them, whether that improvement is making an uptight official dance uncontrollably or destabilizing an entire kingdom.
Wish Dragons. Rumor has it that these dragons have the ability to Grant wishes, however they only do so for the most worthy of individuals. What the qualifications for worthiness are, is subjective for each of these Dragons. Perhaps you've proven yourself a great hero or have completed some impossible task. It maybe you have completed some favor for the dragon, or it could be as simple as entertaining it for a time.
Lair and Lair Actions
A Faerie Dragon’s Lair
Faerie dragons dwell in the lush forests of the Fey wild, where they make their lairs in in the tangled branches of the treetops. Under the bark of the massive trees these dragons call home and within the thick bunches of leaves are hidden trinkets, toys and rare items that they have collected over their lifespan.
Lair Actions
On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), the dragon takes a lair action to cause one of the following effects:
- The dragon chooses a point on the ground that it can see within 120 feet of it. vines and plant matter sprout from the ground in a 20-foot radius centered on that point. The effect is otherwise identical to the entangle spell and lasts until the dragon uses this lair action again or until the dragon dies.
- The dragon chooses a 10-foot-square area on the ground that it can see within 120 feet of it. The ground in that area turns into 3-foot-deep mud. Each creature on the ground in that area when the mud appears must succeed on a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw or sink into the mud and become restrained. A creature can take an action to attempt a DC 15 Strength check, freeing itself or another creature within its reach and ending the restrainedcondition on a success. Moving 1 foot in the mud costs 2 feet of movement. On initiative count 20 on the next round, the mud hardens, and the Strength DC to work free increases to 20.
Regional Effects
The region containing a legendary Fearie dragon’s lair is warped by the dragon’s magic, which creates one or more of the following effects:
- The area surrounding the dragons lair is filled with a light pink mist, having a relaxing effect on those who step in it.
- The area's surrounding its lair will often be filled with various good aligned fey creatures such as smaller faerie dragons, pixies and wood elves.
- Tiny beasts such as rodents and birds that are normally unable to speak gain the magical ability to speak and understand Draconic while within 1 mile of the dragon’s lair. These creatures speak well of the dragon, and will share in the dragons love of pranks.
- Intelligent creatures within 1 mile of the dragon’s lair are prone to fits of giggling. Even serious matters suddenly seem amusing.
If the dragon dies, the mist is replaced with a deep gray smog and the environment the dragon inhabited begins to wither over the course of (10d10)days, all other effects end immediately.
