Actions
Multiattack.
The dragon attacks once with its bite and twice with its claws.
Bite.
Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit reach 10 ft. one target. Hit: 20 (3d10 + 4) piercing damage plus 4 (1d8) acid damage. Instead of dealing piercing damage the dragon can grapple the target (escape DC 16) and a Medium or smaller creature grappled in this way is restrained. While grappling a creature the dragon can't bite another creature.
Claw.
Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit reach 5 ft. one target. Hit: 13 (2d8 + 4) slashing damage.
Acid Breath (Recharge 5-6).
The dragon exhales sizzling acid in a 40-foot-long 5-foot-wide line. Each creature in that area makes a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw taking 45 (10d8) acid damage on a failed save or half damage on a success. A creature that fails the save is blinded until the end of its next turn.
