Faerie Dragons

Faerie dragons are the result of experiments by the leaders of the Feywild in an attempt to reverse the Curse. The faerie dragon is a mischievous creature that often allies with fey creatures such as pixies.

Basic Information

Anatomy

A faerie dragon’s scales are iridescent, and they have butterflylike wings. It bears a sharp-toothed grin at all times except when attacked in anger. It has a long, prehensile tail that constantly flicks and twitches, particularly when the creature is happy or excited.

Growth Rate & Stages

The Colors of Age. A faerie dragon’s scales change hue as it ages, moving through all the colors of the rainbow. All faerie dragons have innate spellcasting ability, gaining new spells as they mature.
Red - 5 years or less
Orange - 6-10 years
Yellow - 11-20 years
Green - 21-30 years
Blue - 31-40 years
Indigo - 41-50 years
Violet - 51 years or more

Civilization and Culture

Interspecies Relations and Assumptions

Faerie dragons generally keep their distance from intruders into their forest homes, preferring to lead such creatures away rather than confront them directly. It is not uncommon to encounter them near the tree of a dryad, the lake of a nymph, or the lair of a tribe of sprites, since such creatures get along well with one another.

Superior Invisibility. As a bonus action, the dragon can magically turn invisible until its concentration ends (as if concentrating on a spell). Any equipment the dragon wears or carries is invisible with it.
Limited Telepathy. Using telepathy, the dragon can magically communicate with any other faerie dragon within 60 feet of it.
Magic Resistance. The faerie dragon has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.

Actions

Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature. Hit: 1 piercing damage.
Euphoria Breath (Recharge 5-6). The dragon exhales a puff of euphoria gas at one creature within 5 feet of it. The target must succeed on a DC 11 Wisdom saving throw, or for 1 minute, the target can’t take reactions and must roll a d6 at the start of each of its turns to determine its behavior during the turn:
1-4. The target takes no action or bonus action and uses all of its movement to move in a random direction.
5-6. The target doesn’t move, and the only thing it can do on its turn is make a DC 11 Wisdom saving throw, ending the effect on itself on a success.

A faerie dragon prefers to deal with enemies from afar, using its spell-like abilities to confuse and bewilder opponents. If this tactic doesn’t work, it summons one or more allies to fight for it. If seriously pressed, a faerie dragon reluctantly enters melee, and then only after using its breath weapon to daze its opponents.
