SPECIAL TRAITS

• Amphibious. The hydra/green dragon can breathe air and water.
• Legendary-Resistances (2/day). If the hydra/green dragon fails a saving throw, it can choose to succeed instead.
• Multiple Heads. The hydra/green dragon has five heads. While it has more than one head, the hydra/green dragon has advantage on saving throws against being blinded, charmed, deafened, frightened, stunned, and knocked unconscious. Whenever the hydra/green dragon takes 30 or more damage in a single turn, one of its heads dies. If all its heads die, the hydra/green dragon dies. At the end of its turn, it grows two heads for each of its heads that died since its last turn, unless it has taken fire damage since its last turn. The hydra/green dragon regains 10 hit points for each head regrown in this way.
• Reactive Heads. For each head the hydra/green dragon has beyond one, it gets an extra reaction that can be used only for opportunity attacks.
• Wakeful. While the hydra/green dragon sleeps, at least one of its heads is awake.

ACTIONS

• Multiattack. The hydra/green dragon makes as many bite attacks or caustic spit attacks as it has heads.
• Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +9 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 10 (1d10 + 5) piercing damage.
• Poison Spit. Ranged Weapon Attack: +9 to hit, range 60 ft./120 ft., one target. Hit: 10 (1d10 + 5) poison damage.
• Poison Breath (Recharge 5-6). Each of the hydra/green dragon’s heads exhales poisonous gas in a 30-foot cone. Each creature in that area must make a DC 14 Constitution saving throw, taking 10 (3d6) poison damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
