{"name":"Young Bronze Dragon","challenge_rating":"8","xp":"3900","types":"Dragon","pb":"+3","size":"Large","sizer":"NONE","languages":"Common, Draconic","alignment":"Lawful Good","description":"Bronze dragons are coastal dwellers that feed primarily on aquatic plants and fish. They take the forms of friendly animals to observe other creatures of interest. They are also fascinated by warfare and eagerly join armies fighting for a just cause.\r\n[in]A ribbed and fluted crest defines the shape of a bronze dragon\u2019s head. Curving horns extend out from the crest, echoed by spines on its lower jaw and chin. To help them swim, bronze dragons have webbed feet and smooth scales. A bronze wyrmling\u2019s scales are yellow tinged with green; only as the dragon approaches adulthood does its color deepen to a darker, rich bronze tone. The pupils of a bronze dragon\u2019s eyes fade as the dragon ages, until they resemble glowing green orbs.[\/in]\r\n\r\n[b]Dragons of the Coast[\/b]. Bronze dragons love to watch ships traveling up and down the coastlines near their lairs, sometimes taking the forms of dolphins or seagulls to inspect those ships and their crews more closely. A daring bronze dragon might slip aboard a ship in the guise of a bird or rat, inspecting the hold for treasure. If the dragon finds a worthy addition to its hoard, it barters with the ship\u2019s captain for the item.\r\n\r\n[b]War Machines[\/b]. Bronze dragons actively oppose tyranny, and many bronze dragons yearn to test their mettle by putting their size and strength to good use.\r\n[in]When a conflict unfolds near its lair, a bronze dragon ascertains the underlying cause, then offers its services to any side that fights for good. Once a bronze dragon commits to a cause, it remains a staunch ally.[\/in]\r\n\r\n[b]Well-Organized Wealth[\/b]. Bronze dragons loot sunken ships and also collect colorful coral and pearls from the reefs and seabeds near their lairs. When a bronze dragon pledges to help an army wage war against tyranny, it asks for nominal payment. If such a request is beyond its allies\u2019 means, it might settle for a collection of old books on military history or a ceremonial item commemorating the alliance. A bronze dragon might also lay claim to a treasure held by the enemy that it feels would be safer under its protection.","suggested_environments":"","armor_class":"18","hit_points":"142","strength":"21","dexterity":"10","constitution":"19","intelligence":"14","wisdom":"13","charisma":"17","base_movement_units":"","base_movement_in_ft":"40","fly_movement_in_ft":"80","burrow_movement_in_ft":"","swim_movement_in_ft":"40","climb_movement_in_ft":"","senses":"[tooltip:If you have Blindsight, you can see within a specific range without relying on physical sight.
