Traits

Aura of Command.The draconian radiates a commanding presence in a 20-foot-radius sphere centered on itself. A draconian in the aura that can see or hear the aurak can't be charmed and has advantage on saving throws made to avoid or end the frightened condition on itself.

Death Throes.When the draconian is reduced to 0 hit points, its magical essence lashes out as a ball of lightning at the closest creature within 30 feet of it before arcing out to up to two other creatures within 15 feet of the first. Each creature must make a 14 Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, the creature takes 9 (2d8) lightning damage and is stunned until the end of its next turn. On a successful save, the creature takes half as much damage and isn't stunned.

Actions

Multiattack.The draconian makes three Rend or Energy Ray attacks.

Rend.mw 5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. ({@damage 1d12 + 2) slashing damage.

Energy Ray.rs 6 to hit, range 60 ft., one target. ({@damage 1d10 + 3) force damage.

Noxious Breath 5.The draconian exhales a 15-foot cone of noxious gas. Each creature in that area must make a 14 Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, the creature takes 21 (6d6) poison damage and gains 1 level of exhaustion. On a successful save, the creature takes half as much damage, doesn't gain exhaustion, and is immune to all draconians' Noxious Breath for 24 hours.

Aurak Draconian

Created from the eggs of gold dragons, aurak draconians are the most powerful of draconians, their entire being thrumming with eldritch power. Unlike other draconians, auraks are wingless. This might lull foes into a false sense of security, until the auraks exhale noxious fumes resembling those of their dragon progenitors. Auraks are masterminds and strategists that serve as commanders in the Dragon Armies. They often lead contingents of less powerful draconians. When slain, aurak draconians unleash their inherent magic in a deadly burst of lightning.

Draconians

Draconians are bipedal monsters born from metallic dragon eggs that have been corrupted by a combination of warped alchemy and the Dragon Queen's foul magic. The Dragon Armies closely guard the secret of the draconians' creation, allowing Krynn's metallic dragons to continue to think their eggs are being held hostage so they don't oppose the Dragon Queen's conquests.
