Frightful Presence (60-foot aura). All enemies within 60 feet must make a DC 27 Will save or gain the Frightened 1d4-1 (minimum of 1) condition. This lasts for 2d4 rounds and only starts to decrease after this time. If the enemy critically fails the save, they gain the Fleeing condition for 1d4-1 (minimum of 1) rounds and then become Frightened as per a fail. An enemy who successfully saves is Bolstered against the Sky Dragon’s Frightful Presence. A Sky Dragon can dampen this ability as a free action and activate it again as another free action. This is a supernatural ability with the fear and psychic tags.

Legendary Actions (1). An Adult Sky Dragon can use one extra action per round. This action can be spent at any point in the round directly after a creature’s turn ends and another begins.

Actions

Bite. Melee Strike +18/+13/+8 (fatal d10, reach 15 feet, unarmed, versatile bludgeoning) with 3d8+4 piercing damage and 2d8 electricity damage.

Breath Weapon (5 or 6, 50-foot cone). Ranged Strike DC 27 Reflex save with 10d6 electricity damage; halved on a success.

Change Shape. As a Double Action, a Sky Dragon can assume a small or medium humanoid form three times per 24 hours as if using Shape Change.

Claw. Melee Strike +18/+13/+8 (reach 10 feet, unarmed) with 5d8+4 slashing damage.

Crush. As a Double Action while flying, a Sky Dragon can move up to twice its speed and land on top of one or more creatures on the ground, using its whole body to crush. All creatures in the Sky Dragon’s landing space must make a DC 27 Reflex save or take 3d8+10 bludgeoning damage and be inflicted with the Prone and Immobile conditions. This is only effective against creatures two or more sizes smaller than a Sky Dragon. On following rounds, the Sky Dragon can remain in the same place and spend an action to maintain the Immobile condition. Doing so causes any creatures still pinned underneath to take 2d8 damage. A creature pinned this way can attempt a DC 27 Athletics check to get out from underneath the Sky Dragon and remove the Immobile condition.

Gore. Melee Strike +18/+13/+8 (deadly d8, unarmed) with 6d8+4 piercing damage.

Tail. Melee Strike +18/+13/+8 (reach 15 feet, unarmed) with 3d8+4 bludgeoning damage.
