Green Dragon Evil

Cruel, cunning forest dwellers who prefer trickery and magic.

Green dragons are notorious, even among evil dragons, for their cruel natures and vicious tempers. They are cunning opponents, and only follow leaders whom they respect. They prefer trickery and magic to all-out combat.

Green dragons lair in wild, forested areas, usually underground. There, in large chambers, they pass their days counting their piles of treasure. Those old enough to have mastered spells use their magic first if they are attacked or threatened; they prefer not to get their claws dirty. Green dragons can breathe a cloud of chlorine gas.

Dragon Breath
Acid and lightning breath strike a single victim, while gas, fire and frost wash over every creature in the room. Fire and frost can break objects, lightning can melt jewelry, gas poisons food and drink, and acid weakens the protection armor offers.
