A creature that fails the saving throw also takes 5 (1d10) ongoing fire damage. A creature can use an action to end the ongoing damage.
Breath Weapons (Recharge 5-6).
The dragon uses one of the following breath weapons:
Molten Breath.
The dragon exhales molten glass in a 60-foot-long 5-foot-wide line. Each creature in the area makes a DC 18 Dexterity saving throw taking 56 (16d6) fire damage on a failed save or half damage on a success. A creature that fails the save is also blinded until the end of its next turn.
Sleep Breath.
The dragon exhales sleep gas in a 60-foot cone. Each creature in the area makes a DC 18 Constitution saving throw. On a failure a creature falls unconscious for 10 minutes or until it takes damage or someone uses an action to wake it.
Change Shape.
The dragon magically takes the shape of a humanoid or beast or changes back into its true form. It reverts to its true form if it dies. Any equipment it is wearing or carrying is absorbed or borne by the new form (dragons choice). In the new form the dragons stats are unchanged except for its size. It can't use Molten Spit Breath Weapons Tail Attack or Wing Attack except in dragon form. In beast form it can attack only with its bite and claws if appropriate to its form. If the beast form is Large or smaller the reach of these attacks is reduced to 5 feet. In humanoid form it can attack only with its staff.
