SILVER DRAGON
The friendliest and most social of the metallic dragons,

silver dragons cheerfully assist good creatures in need.
A silver dragon shimmers as if sculpted from pure
metal, its face given a noble cast by its high eyes and
sweeping beard-like chin spikes. A spiny frill rises high
over its head, tracing down its neck to the tip of its tail.
A silver wyrmling's scales are blue-gray with silver
highlights. As the dragon approaches adulthood, its
color gradually brightens until its individual scales are
barely visible. As a silver dragon grows older, its pupils
fade until its eyes resemble orbs of mercury.
Dragons of Virtue. Silver dragons believe that living
a moral life involves doing good deeds and ensuring
that one's actions cause no undeserved harm to other
sentient beings. They don't take it upon themselves to
root out evil, as gold and bronze dragons do, but they
will gladly oppose creatures that dare to commit evil
acts or harm the innocent.
Friends of the Small Races. Silver dragons enjoy
the company of other silver dragons. Their only true

ACTIONS
Multiattack. The dragon can use its Frightful Presence. It then
makes three attacks: one with its bite and two with its claws.
Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +13 to hit, reach 10ft., one target.
Hit: 19 (2d10 + 8) piercing damage.
Claw. Melee Weapon Attack: +13 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target.
Hit: 15 (2d6 + 8) slashing damage.
Tail. Melee Weapon Attack: +13 to hit, reach 15ft., one target.
Hit: 17 (2d8 + 8) bludgeoning damage.
Frightful Presence. Each creature of the dragon's choice that
is within 120 feet of the dragon and aware of it must succeed
on a DC 18 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,
friendships outside their own kin arise in the company
of humanoids, and many silver dragons spend as much
time in humanoid form as they do in draconic form. A
silver dragon adopts a benign humanoid persona such
as a kindly old sage or a young wanderer, and it often
has mortal companions with whom it develops strong
frieqdships. ,
Silver dragons must step away from their humanoid
lives on a regular basis, returning to their'true forms
to mate and rear offspring, or to tend to their hoards
and personal affairs. Because many lose track of· time
while away, they sometimes return to find that their
companions have grown old or died. Silver dragons
often end up befriending several generations of · ·
humanoids within a single family as a result.
Respect for Humanity. Silver dragons befriend
humanoids of all races, but shorter-lived races such as
humans spark their curiosity in a way the longer-lived
elves and dwarves don't. Humans have a drive and zest
for life that silver dragons find fascinating.
Hoarding History. Silver dragons love to possess
relics of humanoid history. This includes the great
the creature is immune to the clragon's Frightful Presence for
the next 24 hours.
Breath Weapons (Recharge 5-6). The dragon uses one of the
following breath weapons.
Cold Breath. The dragon exhales an icy blast in a 60-foot cone.
Each creature in that area must make a DC 20 Constitution
saving throw, taking 58 (13d8) cold damage on a failed save,
or half as much damage on a successful one.
Paralyzing Breath. The dragon exhales paralyzing gas in a 60-
foot cone. Each creature in that area must succeed on a DC
20 Constitution saving throw or be paralyzed 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.
Change Shape. The dragon magically polymorphs into a
humanoid or beast that has a challenge rating no higher than
its own, or back into its true form. It reverts to its true form if
it dies. Any equipment it is wearing or carrying is absorbed or
borne by the new form (the dragon's choice) .
In a new form, the dragon retains its alignment, hit points,
Hit Dice, ability to speak, proficiencies, Legendary Resistance,
lair action s, and Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma scores, as
well as this action. Its statistics and capabilities are otherwise
replaced by those of the new form, except any class features or
legendary actions of that form.
LEGENDARY ACTIONS
The dragon can take 3 legendary actions, choosing from the
options below. Only one legendary action option can be used
at a time and only at the end of another creature's turn. The
dragon regains spent legendary actions at the start of its turn.
Detect. The dragon makes a Wisdom (Perception) check.
Tail Attack. The dragon makes a tail attack.
Wing Attack (Costs 2 Actions). The dragon beats its wings.
Each creature with in 10 feet of the dragon must succeed
on a DC 21 Dexterity saving throw or take 15 (2d6 + 8)
bludgeoning damage and be knocked prone. The dragon can
then fly up to half its flying speed.
