Amphibious The dragon can breathe air and water.

Voidwalker Nilfog can go 24 hours without breathing, can function in a vacuum and resist high levels of solar radiation.

Legendary Resistance (6/Day).  If Nilfog fails a saving throw, he can choose to succeed instead.

Multi-attack.  Nilfog uses his Frightful Presence.  He then makes six attacks with bite, claws, and tail.  They all deal the same damage, so the order or type doesn't matter.

+24 to hit, reach 20', one target, piercing or slashing damage (Nilfog chooses) 40, 4d10 + 17 plus 20 (3d10) acid damage

Terrifying Presence.  Each creature of Nilfog's choice that is within 240' and aware of him must succeed on a DC 28 Wisdom saving throw or become frightened for 1 minute with re-save.  Unlike regular dragons' presence attacks, making a save doesn't mean the hero is immune to it.

 Acid Breath (Recharge 4-6)  Nilfog exhales acid in a 90' line that is 10' wide.  Each creature in that line must make a DC 22 Dexterity saving throw taking 130 (12d20) acid damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

Nilfog may not take the same Legendary action more than one time during a given round.

  • Detect- Nilfog makes a Perception check
  • Wing Beat- every enemy within 30' must make a Strength save DC 28 or be knocked prone and Nilfog flies 60', this is considered a Disengage move.

Light Dragon- the Blade of Bahamut

Image
    Light Dragon- The Primal Light before all that is   This is the Gold Dragon element in the five part Everlasting Blade of Bahamut.   It is a hand and a half bastard sword that can be wielded one handed (d8 damage) or two handed (d12 damage).   The handle and crossguard are in the shape of a flying golden dragon with outstretched wings.   The blade at rest shimmers like pale golden silk, but when ignited in   battle it blazes strong like a shard of the sun itself.   If an evil creature attempts to pick up the sword, they feel a bad vibe and if they insist on making contact (even if the hand is covered) they suffer 1d10 holy damage.   If an evil creature of draconic nature attempts to pick up the sword, the blade grows bright like an icy fragment of the sun, and there is a physical palpable resistance and a feeling of absolute dread.   If the creature continues and touches the sword they are disintegrated with no save, and no chance of recovery or return, they are tur
