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 twitching its tail, its merriment ending only if it is attacked.

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 nature by offering it "treasure" in the form of sweets, baked goods, and baubles in exchange for information or safe passage through its territory.

Faerie Dragon Traits

Strength decrease, dexterity increase, charisma increase. Euphoria breath, darkvision, innate spellcasting.

Darkvision

You can see in dim light within 60' as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light.  You cannot discern color in darkness, only shades of grey.

Euphoria Breath

Once per short rest you can exhale a puff of euphoric gas at one creature within 5 feet.  The target must succeed on a wisdom saving throw ( DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your CON modifier).  On a failed save the target can't take reactions for 1 minute and must roll a d6 at the start of each of its turns to determine its behavior during the turn.

1-4: Target takes no action or bonus action and uses all of its movement to move in a random direction.

5-6: Target doesn't move and the only thing it can do is attempt the saving throw again, ending the effect on a successful save.
