SPECIAL TRAITS

• Intergalactic. In outer space, a meteor dragon can survive in the void and fly at incredible speed. Travel times vary, but a trip within a single solar system should take 3d20 hours, and a trip beyond should take 3d20 days or more if the dragon knows the way to its destination. An outer dragon can carry one rider of one size category smaller than itself, four passengers two sizes smaller, eight passengers three sizes smaller, or 16 passengers four or more sizes smaller. Passengers are protected from the void of outer space.

ACTIONS

• Multiattack. The dragon makes three attacks: one with its bite and two with its claws.
• Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +9 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 16 (2d10 + 5) piercing and 3 (1d6) fire damage.
• Claw. Melee Weapon Attack: +9 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 12 (2d6 + 5) slashing damage.
• Meteor Breath (Recharge 5-6). The meteor dragon exhales a blast of fire and molten rock in a 30-foot cone. Each creature in that cone must make a DC 16 Dexterity saving throw, taking 28 (8d6) fire damage and 24 (7d6) bludgeoning damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. The meteor dragon can exchange damage dice between fire and bludgeoning damage when it uses its breath weapon, choosing any combination of damage dice that add up to 15d6.

ABOUT

Meteor dragons are destructive forces from the stars responsible for the annihilation of many species. They see themselves as crucibles, however, and delight in the species that come to prominence after they devastate a world.
