Actions

Multiattack. The dragon can use its frightful presence. It then makes three attacks: one with its bite and two with its claws.

Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: + 15 to hit, reach 15 ft., one target. Hit: 19 (2d10 + 8) piercing damage. 

Claw. Melee Weapon Attack: +15 to hit, range 10 ft., one target. Hit: 22 (4d6 + 8) slashing damage. 

Tail. Melee Weapon Attack: +15 to hit, range 20 ft., one target. Hit:  17 (2d8 + 8) bludgeoning damage.

Frightful Presence. Each creature of the dragon's choice that is within 120 feet of the dragon and aware of it must succeed on a DC 19 Wisdom saving throw or become frightened for 1 minute. 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 Frightful Presence for the next 24 hours.

Infect Mind (Recharge 5-6). The Seer Dragon can attempt to look into the mind of a creature, thereby infecting them and rendering them helpless. As an action, one target that the Seer Dragon can see must make an Intelligence saving throw or take 10d8 psychic damage and have their Intelligence score reduced by 2 until the end of a short or long rest. If a target's Intelligence score is reduced to 0, they are unconscious and dying. This effect can be reversed by any healing spell such as Spare The Dying or Cure Wounds. If this is cast on a creature, they regain one Intelligence and that many number of hit points. All lost Intelligence scores are regained after a short or long rest.

Legendary Actions

The dragon can take 3 legendary actions, 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.

Investigate (Costs 1 Action). The dragon makes an Intelligence (Investigation) check.

Tail Attack. The dragon makes a tail attack.

Wing Attack. (Costs 2 Actions). The dragon beats its wings. Each creature within 15 feet of the dragon must succeed on a DC 23 Dexterity saving throw or take 15 (2d6 + 8) bludgeoning damage and be knocked prone. The dragon can then fly up to half its flying speed.

Description

The Ancient Seer Dragon believes that it is a superior being. The goal of this dragon is to prove his superiority by infecting the minds of lowly beings and controlling armies of mind controlled peasants. 

Lair and Lair Actions

Because the Ancient Seer Dragon travels so often, it does not have a lair to use against its foes.
