Unofficial Description: Dragon-like gigantic turtle.

Dragon Turtle's Lair

 Dragon turtles make their lairs in underwater caves and coral reefs.

Lair Actions

 When fighting inside its lair, an dragon turtle can use lair actions. On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), the dragon takes a lair action to cause one of the following effects; the dragon can’t use the same effect two rounds in a row:

• Blasting Current.
• Entangling Kelp.
• Steam Eruption.

Regional Effects

 The region surrounding a legendary dragon turtle's lair is altered by the dragon's magic, creating one or more of the following effects:

• Diverting Currents.
• Elemental Portals.
• Hot Water.

If the dragon dies, these effects fade over the course of 1d10 days.
