Although not as powerful or possessed of the vile intelligence of a true dracolich, zombie dragons are nevertheless vile corruptions of the magnificent creatures from which they were created. Their leathery wings are torn and decayed, their breath debased to become a pestilent gas. Their limbs are still strong enough to tear a knight in half, and many have steel plates nailed into their bones to guard them from damage. They still possess some fell intelligence which lends power to their bones, and some enterprising souls have been able to bargain with them for their services.
While some have been raised by necromancers with powerful rituals, some are dragons who have died of (somewhat) natural causes and have not yet been able to leave their hoard.

On a success, the zombie dragon drops to 1 hit point instead. ACTIONS Multiattack. The zombie dragon makes one bite attack and two claw attacks. Bite.

Breath Weapon (Recharge 5-6). The dragon exhales a rotting cloud of foetid air in a 30-foot cone.

A creature that fails its saving throw is also poisoned for 1 minute. Also posted on Game Masters Stash on 1 October 2021. Comments are closed.
