Air Form. The dust devil can enter a hostile creature's space and stop there. It can move through a space as narrow as 1 inch wide without squeezing.
Multiattack. The dust devil makes two slam attacks.
Slam. Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 14 (2d8 + 5) bludgeoning damage.
Whirlwind (Recharge 4–6). Each creature in the dust devil's space must make a DC 13 Strength saving throw. On a failure, a target takes 15 (3d8 + 2) bludgeoning damage and is flung up 20 feet away from the dust devil in a random direction and knocked prone. If a thrown target strikes an object, such as a wall or floor, the target takes 3 (1d6) bludgeoning damage for every 10 feet it was thrown. If the target is thrown at another creature, that creature must succeed on a DC 13 Dexterity saving throw or take the same damage and be knocked prone.
If the saving throw is successful, the target takes half the bludgeoning damage and isn't flung away or knocked prone.
Description
Dust devils usually scour the land within 6 miles of a Blue Dragon Lair. A funneling cloud of whirling air with a vague semblance of a face, they can turn themselves into a screaming cyclone, creating a whirlwind that batters creatures even as it flings them away.

Posted Apr 25, 2020Is this an unofficial monster statblock, created for this article?
Also, the capitalization of "Dust" every time the monster's name is mentioned in the statblock seems off.
EDIT: Looks like the capitalization of "dust" was fixed. Also, it was pointed out to me that the dust devil stats are actually provided in the blue dragon's lair actions (e.g. for an ancient blue dragon), so this is just a statblock provided for the variant already mentioned there.

Posted Jul 17, 2020Only difference that I can tell from Air Elementals is that Dirt Devils can't fly. They just have a move speed of 50 ft.

Posted Aug 18, 2020And they only have a Charisma and Intelligence of 1. They're a regional effect around Blue Dragon lairs.

Posted May 11, 2021But have thet resistance even to Silvered weapons? Because rules said that Silvered weapons neutralized the "Resistance to nonmagical attacks".
How can this be possible?

Posted Oct 30, 2022Silvered weapons don't overcome resistance or immunity to nonmagical weapon damage, unless the target's resistance/immunity specifies otherwise (see the werewolf statblock for an example)
