Plant attribute. The dragon doesn´t need to breathe, but needs to take in sunlight ,otherwise it´s health goes down by 1 for every three days without It.
Also It has different physiology than other living creatures, therefore poison, potions and other substances are only half as effective, unless they were specifically made for this creature.
Transform. The dragon is mostly made of plants, vines mostly, and is able to transform to some extent. It can change It´s size to Small or Large from It´s base Medium.
This doesn´t affects any of It´s skills or attacks.
Magic Resistance. Has advantage on saving throws against the spells or magical effects.
Multiattack. The dragon can use its Majestic Presence. It then makes two attacks: one with its bite and one with its claws.
Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 14 (2d8 + 5) piercing damage.
Claw. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 16 (3d6 + 5) slashing damage.
Tail. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 15 ft., one target. Hit: 19 (2d10 + 7) bludgeoning damage.
Majestic Presence. Each creature of the dragon's choice that is within 90 feet of the dragon and aware of it must succeed on a DC 14 Charisma saving throw or become stunned for 1 round. A creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. If a creature's saving throw is successful or the effect ends for it, the creature is immune to the dragon's Majestic Presence for the next 24 hours.
Sticky Breath (Recharge 5–6). The dragon exhales sticky substence in a 30-foot cone. Each creature in that area must make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw, being unable to move for the next 2 rounds on a failed save, or 1 round on a successful one.
The dragon can take 1 legendary action, choosing from the options below. Only one legendary action option can be used at a time and only at the end of another creature's turn. The dragon regains spent legendary actions at the start of its turn.
Detect. The dragon makes a Wisdom (Perception) check.
Unusual Dodge. The dragon can avoid ranged attack by burrowing into the ground briefly. Even if the ranged attack is an area attack that inflicts some damage on the ground itself, the dragon then takes only half of the damage.
Description
An artificially created creature, merging a Vine Serpent with a Dragon soul. They were engineered to live a life of an explorers, full of curiosity. They don´t usually remain at one place like the other dragons, hoarding their treasure. This creature instead searches for the most beautiful single treasure and keep It in their bodies while traveling the world. Most of these dragons chooses the largest, shiniest gems or magical metals, possibly even legendary items and artifacts as their treasure.
As their curious nature dictates, they don´t attack If not neccessary and even like to talk with humanoids from time to time.
The Vine dragons, unlike other dragons, primarily consume other plants and sometimes minerals, but they can consume almost anything If they so chooses.
Vine dragons are not able to reproduce as other creatures could. Instead each of the Vine dragons posseses one seed which they keep next to their hearts. When the Vine dragon is near It´s end (they live for around 1000 years) they take this seed and plant It in the safe place and settle there until the new Vine Serpent is matured (3-4 years) and then the old Vine dragon turns Itself into a tree burrying It´s treasure under It´s roots. The tree itself won´t stop growing though and so the dragon lives on in some sense.
Lair and Lair Actions
The Vine Dragons don´t settle in one place for a long time and their treasure keep within their own body. But If for some reason the Vine Dragon stayed at one place for a longer period of time there would be drastic effects.
The land around the dragon would start to turn into a jungle, many herbs and plants that are only rarely found would flourish and many animals would come seeking protection of the dragon. The dragon could choose to merge with this new environment basically becoming one with it and being able to sense and see everything that goes on in this territory.
After the dragon leaves, this environment will slowly start to turn back into It´s previous shape.
When Vine Dragons normally travel, they choose to explore places filled with magic or places that look interesting to them personally. There would be even cases where these dragons venture through the dimensions.
