Special Traits

• Damage Resistance. The kobold prophet is resistant to the damage type of the dragon it serves.
• Wyrmtongue. Dragons under the command of the kobold prophet have advantage against being charmed by anyone except the kobold prophet.
• Innate Spellcasting. The dragon kobold prophet’s spellcasting ability is Wisdom (spell save DC 15, +7 to hit with spell attacks). It can innately cast the following spells, requiring no material components:
• At will: fire bolt, ray of frost, shocking grasp
• 2/day each: dominate monster, fireball, lightning bolt, ice storm
• 1/day each: cone of cold, chain lightning, fire storm, hold monster
• Sunlight Sensitivity. While in sunlight, the dragon kobold prophet has disadvantage on attack rolls and Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on sight if it, the target of its attack, or what it is trying to perceive is in direct sunlight.

Actions

• Claws. Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit. Reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 4 (1d6 + 1) slashing damage.
• Change Shape. The kobold prophet magically polymorphs into a young chromatic dragon, following the rules of the polymorph spell, but ignoring its challenge rating restriction. Roll a d10 to determine the dragon’s color: 1–2: black, 3–4: blue, 5–6: green, 7–8: red, 9–10: white.
• Command Dragon. One young dragon or wyrmling under the control of the kobold prophet can use its reaction to make a bite attack.

About

Taking on some of the powers of manipulation dragons are famed for, prophets may not be the most popular priests with the general population, but are usually cunning enough to worm their way closer to the dragon.
