Lothrem, the Wreathed Dragon

+8

If Lothrem fails a saving throw, they can choose to succeed instead.

1/DAY

Lothrem regains 10 hit points at the start of their turn if they have at least 1 hit point. If they are in sunlight, they instead regain 20 hit points.

Lothrem can use their Frightful Presence. They then make three attacks: one with their bite and two with their claws.

Melee Weapon Attack: +16 to hit, reach 15 ft., one target. Hit: 19 (2d10+8) piercing damage plus 5 (1d10) lightning damage.

Melee Weapon Attack: +16 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 15 (2d6+8) slashing damage.

Melee Weapon Attack: +16 to hit, reach 20 ft., one target. Hit: 17 (2d8+8) bludgeoning damage.

Each creature of Lothrem's choice that is within 120 feet of Lothrem and aware of them must succeed on a DC 23 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 Lothrem's Frightful Presence for the next 24 hours.

Lothrem exhales enriching breath on the ground in a 120-foot line that is 10 feet wide, causing a thick wall of tangled, thorny bush to magically grow in the area. The wall is 20 feet high and blocks line of sight. Each creature in the area must make a DC 25 Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes 63 (14d8) piercing damage and is restrained in the wall. On a successful save, the creatures takes half as much damage and isn't restrained. The wall remains until the end of Lothrem's next turn, at which point it withers and disappears. A creature restrained in the wall or one that is within 5 feet of the creature can use its action to make a DC 19 Strength check, freeing the creature on a success. For the duration, the area is difficult terrain, and when a creatures moves into or within the area, it takes 9 (2d8) piercing damage for every 5 feet it travels.

D5

Lothrem magically polymorphs into a humanoid or beast that has a challenge rating no higher than their own, or back into their true form. Lothrem reverts to their true form if they die. Any equipment Lothrem is wearing or carrying is absorbed or borne by the new form (Lothrem's choice). In a new form, Lothrem retains their own alignment, hit points, hit dice, ability to speak, proficiencies, Legendary Resistance, lair actions, and Intelligence, Wisdom and Charisma scores, as well as this action. Lothrem's statistics and capabilities are otherwise replaced by those of the new form, except any class features or legendary actions of that form.

The dragon can take 3 legendary actions, choosing from the options below. Only one legendary action can be used at a time and only at the end of another creature's turn. Lothrem regains spent legendary actions at the start of their turn.

3/TURN

Lothrem makes a Wisdom (Perception) check.

Lothrem makes a tail attack.

Lothrem beats their wings. Each creature within 10 feet of Lothrem must succeed on a DC 24 Dexterity saving throw or take 15 (2d6+8) bludgeoning damage and be knocked prone. Lothrem can then fly up to half their flying speed.

On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), Lothrem takes a lair action to cause one of the following effects:

• Each creature of Lothrem's choice within 60 feet of them gains the effect of the sanctuary spell. This effect lasts until initiative count 20 on the next round.

• Lothrem casts wind wall, without material components.

• Lothrem chooses a point on the ground that they can see within 120 feet of them, causing grasping weeds and vines to sprout from the ground in a 30-foot radius centered on that point. For 1 minute, the area is under the effects of the entangle spell. This effect ends early if Lothrem uses this lair action again or if they die.

The region containing Lothrem's lair is warped by their draconic magic, which creates one or more of the following effects:

• Each creature that has the ability to cast at least one spell can cast the druidcraft cantrip at will while within 6 miles of Lothrem's lair.

• The weather within 6 miles of the lair is substantially affected by Lothrem's current state of mind (see Lothrem's Mood & Weather table).

Ivy and other vines are prevalent on stone structures within 1 mile of Lothrem's lair, reinforcing the structures and protecting them against the elements. In addition, while Lothrem is within their lair, grass and flowers continuously growth underneath them, as if under the effects of the druidcraft spell.
