MORE CONSTRUCT DRAGONS

Throughout history, arcanists have created

in mind--to guard treasures, to serve in
times of war, even to aid with mundane

there is one through-line: nature is the

is often a shortcut to success.

The magic that animates a construct

to 0 hit points. A construct dragon reduced
to zero hit points becomes inanimate.
USING CONSTRUCT DRAGONS
Construct dragons lack the true draconic

majesty that creates lair actions and
regional effects, making them better
preludes to other legendary creatures or
powerful NPCs than boss creatures
themselves.
