Skills

Actions

• Multiattack. The dragon uses its Frightful Presence. It then makes one Bite attack and two Claw attacks. It can replace its Bite attack with a use of Paralyzing Breath, if available.
• Bite. _Melee Weapon Attack:_ +13 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. _Hit:_ 19 (2d10+8) piercing damage.
• Claw. _Melee Weapon Attack:_ +13 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. _Hit:_ 15 (2d6+8) slashing damage.
• Tail. _Melee Weapon Attack:_ +13 to hit, reach 15 ft., one target. _Hit:_ 17 (2d8+8) bludgeoning 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 17 WIS save or be frightened for 1 minute. A creature can repeat the save at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. If a creature's save is successful or the effect ends for it, the creature is immune to the dragon's Frightful Presence for the next 24 hours.
• Cold Breath (Recharge 5-6). The dragon exhales an icy blast in a 60-foot cone. Each creature in that area must make a DC 20 CON save, taking 58 (13d8) cold damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
• Paralyzing Breath (Recharge 6). As the **silver dragon wyrmling**, except it is a 60-foot cone, and the save DC is 20.

Legendary actions

• Detect. The dragon automatically detects every creature and trap within 30 feet of it, pinpointing the current location of each.
• Tail Attack. The dragon makes a Tail attack.
• Elemental Roar (Costs 2 Actions). The dragon roars at up to two creatures of its choice within 120 feet of it. Each target must succeed on a DC 17 CHA save or be vulnerable to cold damage until the end of its next turn. A target resistant to cold damage isn't resistant to it for the duration. A target immune to cold damage is still immune to it, even if the target fails the save.
• Wing Attack (Costs 2 Actions). The dragon beats its wings. Each creature within 10 feet of the dragon must succeed on a DC 21 Dexterity save or take 15 (2d6+8) bludgeoning damage and be knocked prone. The dragon can then fly up to half its flying speed without provoking opportunity attacks.

• Legendary Resistance (3/Day). If the dragon fails a save, it can choose to succeed instead.
