|adesc1=The dragon can use its Frightful Presence. It then makes three attacks: one with its bite and two with its claws.

|action2=Bite
|alimit2=
|adesc2=''{{SRD5|Melee Weapon Attack}}:'' +13 to hit, {{srd5lc|Reach}} 10 ft., one target. ''Hit:'' 19 (2d10+8) {{srd5lc|Piercing}} damage.

|action3=Claw
|alimit3=
|adesc3=''Melee Weapon Attack:'' +13 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. ''Hit:'' 15 (2d6+8) {{srd5lc|Slashing}} damage.

|action4=Tail
|alimit4=
|adesc4=''Melee Weapon Attack:'' +13 to hit, reach 15 ft., one target. ''Hit:'' 17 (2d8+8) {{srd5lc|Bludgeoning}} damage.

|action5=Frightful Presence
|alimit5=
|adesc5=Each creature of the dragon’s choice that is within 120 feet of the dragon and aware of it must succeed on a {{SRD5|DC}} 18 {{SRD5|Wisdom}} saving throw or become {{srd5lc|Frightened}} for 1 {{srd5lc|Minute}}. A creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its {{srd5lc|Turn}}s, ending the effect on itself on a success. If a creature’s saving throw is successful or the effect ends for it, the creature is {{srd5lc|Immune}} to the dragon’s Frightful Presence for the next 24 hours.

|action6=Breath Weapons
|alimit6={{SRD5|Recharge}} 5-6
|adesc6=The dragon uses one of the following breath weapons:

:'''Cold Breath'''. The Dragon exhales an icy blast in a 60-foot {{srd5lc|Cone}}. Each creature in that line must make a DC 20 {{SRD5|Dexterity}} 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 gas in a 60-foot {{srd5lc|Cone}}. Each creature in that area must succeed on a DC 20 {{SRD5|Constitution}} saving throw or be {{srd5lc|Paralyzed}} for 1 {{srd5lc|Minute}}. A creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.}

|action7=Change Shape
|alimit7=
|adesc7=The dragon magically {{srd5lc|Polymorph}}s into a {{srd5lc|Humanoid}} or {{srd5lc|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 actions, 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.

|legend1=Detect
|lgdlimit1=
|lgddesc1=The dragon makes a {{SRD5|Wisdom}} ({{SRD5|Perception}}) {{srd5lc|Ability Check|check}}.

|legend3=Wing Attack
|lgdlimit3=Costs 2 Actions
|lgddesc3=The dragon beats its wings. Each creature within 15 feet of the dragon must succeed on a DC 21 Dexterity saving throw or take 15 (2d6+8) bludgeoning damage and be knocked {{srd5lc|Prone}}. The dragon can then fly up to half its flying speed.
