Stellar Dragons ‘Tremendous in size, peaceful, and highly intelligent, these enormous philosophers of the phlogiston wander the flow seeking discourse with the keepers of the exystal spheres. Unusual Appearance. The scales of stellar dragons are iridescent decp purple, with a chrome drop at the tip of each scale. Gems of myriad colors and sizes adorn the scales in random patterns, giving the stellar dragon its name. Two main fins, like the fins ofa lionfish, adorn either side of the central torso, and four enormous lace-like wings provide guidance and stability. Numerous other fins of various sizes cover the rest of the dragon's body. They have no visible arms or legs. Above it All, Sellar dragons, unlike their smaller kin, the radiants, are neutral. They consider stooping to ‘meddle in the affairs of smaller beings to be loutish and. in bad taste. When they encounter humanoids, stellar dragons prefer to watch rather than involve themselves. Only rarely do they speak with lesser beings. However, ifone has information previously unknown to the dragon, this may gain its interest and even useful knowledge in trade, Information is the stellar dragon's food and drink, if anything is, and itis willing to trade in kind. One rumor has it that the Greyhawk wizard Bighy learned his interposing hand and grasping hand spells from a stellar dragon in exchange for a juicy tidbit of information. Intellectual Appetites. Stellar dragons literally consume their knowledge, transforming it into clear or milky gems of varying size. These gems of wisdom and pearls of knowledge push their way outward to rest embedded in the dragon's scales. The number of gems and pearls studding its scales mark its status among other dragons. The encrustation also roughly indicates its age; younger dragons have few gems, whereas venerable stellars are literally covered in jewels. The chief, or mikado, is another case entirely. The stellar dragons’ range covers the entire cosmos, so their exact numbers are unknown; parties encounter them only rarely. However, once every 500 years, the stellar dragons convene for their mating ceremony, In this ceremony, the most worthy stellar dragons are selected by their tribal head, called the mikado. There is only one smikado at any time. The mikado is distinguished by the single crystal horn on its forehead. Those dragons that the mikado selects as mates each produce a single offspring, This dragon, born fully sentient, leaves to make its own way among the stars. ‘Vast Territories. Stellar dragon territories are vast, extending into other planes and dimensions. Individuals negotiate boundaries to prevent intrusion on each. other's space. However, they haggle endlessly to obtain dynamic civilizations to monitor. Truth Seekers. The stellar dragon's ultimate goal is truth. It abhors dishonesty and misinformation, Though its information may be cryptic, it is never false. A lesser ‘eing's misinterpretation is that being’s own fault. Misinformation causes a stellar dragon severe, painful indigestion. And as with its smaller kin, a dragon in pain is dangerous. A Stellar Dragon's Lair ‘Stellar dragon's make their home in nigh impossible to reach caverns and mountain peaks seldom seen by eyes beyond their own. They consider the whole planet on which they reside to be their domain, and as such are ever vigilant against threats from beyond, The actual ‘space of their lairs are coated in magnificent crystals, all of which were once scales on the dragon's body and are infused with magic used to store treasured memories. Lair Actions. On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), the dragon takes a lair action to cause one of the following effects; the dragon can\t use the same effect two rounds in a row: Light erupts from the many brilliant crystals within the layer. ll creatures of the dragon's choice within the lair must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or be blinded until the end of their next turn. Teleportation magic surges and causes every creature of the dragonis choice within the lair be teleported 30 feet ina random direction, - Thousands of voices belonging to creatures the dragon once encountered boom from the memory crystals all throughout the cave, converging on a single 20 foot area that the dragon can see. All creatures in the area must, succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or take 21 (66) thunder damage. Regional Effects. The region containing a legendary stellar dragon’ lair is warped by the dragon's magic, which creates one or more of the following effects Recalling information becomes difficult within 1 mile of the dragon’ lair, as the dragon's magic syphons memory and information to be copied by its lair crystals. All creatures have disadvantage on knowledge checks. - The local fauna within 1 mile of the dragon's lair is seemingly random, and contains a vast array of weird and rare creatures that would normally not be found in the environment, All creatures within 1 mile ofthe lair find it very difficult to lie, and have disadvantage on deception checks. However, all creatures also have advantage on persuasion checks if they are offering true information 1s part of their attempt to persuade. Ifthe dragon dies, these effects fade over the course of 1d10 days.STELLAR DRAGON WYRMLING eye dagen as Armor Class 17 (natural armor) Hit Points 95 (10410 + 40) Speed 30 ft, climb 30 ft, ly 60 ft STR DEX CON INT WIS.
