• Scouring Breath (Recharge 5-6). The dragon breathes scouring sand and stones in a 15-foot cone. Each creature in that area makes a DC 12 Dexterity saving throw taking 10 (3d6) slashing damage on a failed save or half damage on a success.

Languages

Special abilities

• Earth Glide. The dragon can burrow through nonmagical, unworked earth and stone without disturbing it.
• False Appearance. While the dragon remains motionless within its linked area, it is indistinguishable from a natural rocky outcropping.
• Essence Link. The essence dragon is spiritually linked to a specific area or landmark. The dragon gains no benefit from a long rest when more than 1 mile away from its linked area. If the dragon dies, the area it is linked to loses its vital essence until it forms a new essence dragon, which can take centuries. When a creature first enters an area that has lost its vital essence in this way, they gain a level of fatigue and a level of strife. This fatigue and strife can be removed only by completing a long rest outside the area.
