Deep Dragon Overview [1] [2]

[Deep dragons make] their lairs in the depths of the Underdark [which] gives them the ability to exhale magical spores that instill fear and scar the mind.

Deep dragons' black-and-gray hide is smooth [have] fungi … around the head and neck. Their wings are attached to their front legs and can fold in close to the body, allowing [them to] maneuver through relatively narrow tunnels.

Deep dragons often hoard secrets … seek out new insights and tricks … they are willing to bargain for knowledge they lack. [1]

Deep Dragon's Lair

Deep dragons [lair] in well-hidden caves or sunless beaches in the Underdark … covered in … mold and moss, … larger mushrooms and plants…

The challenge rating of a legendary deep dragon increases by 1 when it's encountered in its lair.

Lair Actions

  • Deep Torpor.
  • Mossy Sludge.
  • Toxic Spores.

Regional Effects

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

  • Preservation of Knowledge.
  • Restless Sleep.
  • Verdant Growth.

If the dragon dies, these effects fade over the course of 1d10 days. [3]
