Living Shadow. While in dim light or darkness, the dragon has resistance to damage that isn't force, psychic, or radiant.

Shadow Stealth. While in dim light or darkness, the dragon can take the Hide action as a bonus action.

Sunlight Sensitivity. While in sunlight, the dragon has disadvantage on attack rolls, as well as on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on sight.


Actions

Multiattack. The dragon makes three attacks: one with its bite and two with its claws.

Bite.
Melee Weapon Attack: +10 1d20+10 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 8-26 2d10+6 piercing damage plus 1-6 1d6 necrotic damage.

Claw.
Melee Weapon Attack: +10 1d20+10 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 8-18 2d6+6 slashing damage.

Shadow Breath (Recharge 5-6).
[roll1d6] The dragon exhales shadowy fire in a 30-foot cone. Each creature in that area must make a DC 18 Dexterity saving throw, taking 16-96 16d6 necrotic damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. A humanoid reduced to 0 hit points by this damage dies, and an undead shadow rises from its corpse and acts immediately after the dragon in the initiative count. The shadow is under the dragon's control.


 

Dragons that have been corrupted by the Shadowfell. They darkness has twisted them into a shell of their former selves.
