Legendary Resistance (3/Day). If the dragon fails a saving throw, it can choose to succeed instead.
Siege Monster. The dragon deals double damage to objects and structures.
Trample. If the dragon moves at least 20 feet straight toward a target and then hits it with a ram attack on the same turn, the target takes an extra 10 (3d6) piercing damage. If the target is a creature, it must succeed on a DC 19 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone.

Actions

Multiattack. The dragon can use its Frightful Presence. It then makes three melee attacks, either once with its bite or ram attack, and then twice with its claw.
Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +11 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 17 (2d10 + 6) piercing damage plus 4 (1d8) fire damage.

Frightful Presence. Each creature of the dragon's choice that is within 120 feet of the dragon and aware of it must succeed on a DC 14 Wisdom saving throw or become frightened for 1 minute. A creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, 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 immune to the dragon's Frightful Presence for the next 24 hours.
Fire Breath (Recharge 5–6). The dragon exhales fire in a 60-foot line that is 5 feet wide. Each creature in that line must make a DC 19 Dexterity saving throw, taking 45 (13d6) fire damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

Legendary Actions

The dragon can take 3 legendary actions, choosing from the options below. Only one legendary action can be used at a time and only at the end of another creature's turn. The dragon regains spent legendary actions at the start of its turn.

  • Detect. The dragon makes a Wisdom (Perception) check.
  • Tail Attack. The dragon makes a tail attack.
  • Savage (Costs 2 Actions). The dragon makes a claw attack against each creature within 5 feet of it.
  • Wing Attack (Costs 2 Actions). The dragon beats its wings. Each creature within 10 feet of the dragon must succeed on a DC 19 Dexterity saving throw or take 13 (2d6 + 6) bludgeoning damage and be knocked prone. The dragon can then fly up to half its flying speed.

Regional Effects

The region containing a legendary atarka dragon's lair is warped by the dragon's magic, which creates one or more of the following effects:

  • Temperatures within 5 miles of the dragon's lair are warmer than in the surrounding lands. Snow melts shortly after landing, plants are more common, and animals lose their winter coats.
  • Beasts and monstrosities are more aggressive within 3 miles of the dragon's lair. Animal Handling checks in the area are made with disadvantage.
  • Volcanic fissures and geysers spring up within 1 mile of the dragon's lair.
If the dragon dies, these effects fade over the course of 1d10 days.
