In addition to the 10 facts about each type of dragon, I’m crafting three unique draconic NPCs for each type. Each NPC will have a bit of personality and history, a lair description, a unique ability, and a hoard.
Rose’s Daughter
Young Green Dragon
- Age: 21 years
- Bio: Raised entirely by hags that once allied with her mother, Rose’s Daughter has no name of her own. The young dragon serves the whims of her three hag godmothers and has been touched by their potent magics. Rose’s Daughter seldom leaves the depths of her forest home, but those who live near the forest’s edge grow to fear her hunts more with every passing day.
- Alternative Characterization: Rose’s Daughter has been totally sheltered from the outside world by her guardians. The hags use her ignorance to keep her in their thrall and shape her into a weapon. In fact, she is very curious about other creatures but has a profound fear of humanoids.
- Lair: Rose’s Daughter resides in a mossy cave beneath her godmothers’ hut deep in the woods.
- Unique Ability: Rose’s Daughter is immune to being charmed.
- Hoard: A dancing sword, approximately 4,000 gp in coins, a rare tome worth 1000 gp, and 5 gems (each worth 100 gp).
Baron Pantelion
Adult Green Dragon
- Age: 400 years
- Bio: Ever the charmer, Pantelion poses as the vassal of a dwarf king. Served by a host of fey gifted into his control by a hag coven seeking his aid, the baron plays the part of a diplomat, using his immense power, wealth, and wiles to manipulate the kingdom’s affairs.
- Alternative Characterization: Pantelion’s interests are self-serving but not malicious. He wishes to grow his own wealth, but being lazy and more than a bit cowardly, the baron has no interest in doing that through bloodshed when it can be avoided. His careful string-pulling has brought about the longest peace in living memory.
- Lair: Baron Pantelion resides in a palatial estate in a forest vale on the edge of the dwarf’s kingdom. So large is the estate that it’s outlying structures have begun to fall into ruin.
- Unique Ability: Summon Fey Warriors. Baron Pantelion can summon two fey warriors twice a day. The servants return to the Fey Wild after 1 hour or when the baron takes an action to dismiss them or when they fall to 0 hit points.
- Hoard: A Rod of Lordly Might belonging to an elf king, 200,000 gp in coins, and a collection of gems and jewelry with a total value of 10,000 gp.
The Venerable Kazh
Ancient Green Dragon
- Age: 3,000
- Bio: So old her mottled scales have faded to a grey-green, the Venerable Kazh is the mistress of a vast jungle. Centuries ago, Kazh was wounded in a battle with a tiger dragon, temporarily losing eyesight and suffering mortal wounds. Kazh was saved when she found her way to a massive jungle tree and, ravenous, began to gnaw on its roots. Her eyes glow pure green now, and she rarely ventures far from the tree, lounging half-coiled around its based and chewing its roots for sustenance. Kazh keeps close tabs on tigers in her domain. Snuffing them out before they can reach dragonhood.
- Alternative Characterization: The Venerable Kazh is bound to the tree that saved her life. Whether she is cognizant of it, she serves the jungle, preventing any creature from upsetting the balance.
- Lair: The Venerable Kazh lives in a gloomy grove centered on the tree from which she draws her power. She spends much of her time on her treasure pile in a pitch black cave beneath the tree’s roots.
- Unique Ability: Innate Spellcasting. The Venerable Kazh’s spellcasting ability is Charisma (spell save DC 19, +11 to hit). Kazh can innately cast the following spells, requiring no components.
At will: thorn whip
3/day each: entangle, speak with plants
1/day each: grasping vine, wall of thorns
1/day: earthquake, sunburst - Hoard: A magic sword called Thorn (a sword of answering), a cloak of the dragon tiger, an ioun stone (regeneration), 322,000 gp in coins, and a collection of gems and jewelry with a total value of 25,000 gp.
