Homebrew Faerie Dragon Species Details

A faerie dragon is a cat-sized dragon with butterfly wings. It wears a sharp-toothed grin and expresses its delight by the twitching of its tail, its merriment fading only if it is attacked.

Invisible Tricksters. The only warning of a faerie dragon’s presence is a stifled giggle. The dragon stays out of sight, watching invisibly as its victims contend with its pranks. When its fun is done, the dragon might reveal itself, depending on the disposition of its “prey.”

Friendly and Bright. A faerie dragon has a sharp mind, a fondness for treasure and good company, and a puckish sense of humor. Travelers can play to a faerie dragon’s draconic nature by offering it “treasure” in the form of sweets, baked goods, and baubles in exchange for information or safe passage through its territory.

The Colors of Age. A faerie dragon’s scales change hue as it ages, moving through all the colors of the rainbow. All faerie dragons have innate spellcasting ability, gaining new spells as they mature.

Faerie Dragon Traits

"Beware the bard, both drake and fey, in the Brightwood where she prowls..." - StellarEcl1pse

Languages

Faerie dragons most often speak Draconic, Sylvan, and Common. This is due to the species having traits of both Dragonkin and Fey creatures alike.

Darkvision

The dragon can see in dim light within a 60ft. radius as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. The dragon can't discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.

Limited Telepathy

Using telepathy, the dragon can magically communicate with any other faerie dragon within 60 feet of it.

Superior Invisibility

As a bonus action, the dragon can magically turn invisible until its concentration ends (as if concentrating on a spell). Any equipment the dragon wears or carries is invisible with it.

Magic Resistance

 The dragon is granted Resistance to damage from Spells and has Advantage on Saving Throws against Spells.

Innate Spellcasting

The dragon can innately cast a number of spells, requiring no material components. As the dragon levels up, it gains additional spells as shown below.

dancing lights, mage hand, minor illusion, color spray, mirror image, suggestion, major image, hallucinatory terrain, polymorph

Bite

 Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature. Hit: 1 piercing damage.

Euphoria Breath

(Recharge 5–6) The dragon exhales a puff of euphoria gas at one creature within 5 feet of it. The target must succeed on a DC 11 Wisdom saving throw, or for 1 minute, the target can’t take reactions and must roll a d6 at the start of each of its turns to determine its behavior during the turn:

1–4. The target takes no action or bonus action and uses all of its movement to move in a random direction.

5–6. The target doesn’t move, and the only thing it can do on its turn is make a DC 11 Wisdom saving throw, ending the effect on itself on a success.
