Breath Weapon (evocation, primal) The dragon unleashes a swarm of insects that deals 20d6 piercing damage in a 60-foot cone (DC 41 basic Reflex save) before dispersing. A creature that critically fails is stunned 2 from the insects' venom; this is a poison effect. The dragon can't use Breath Weapon again for 1d4 rounds.
Coiling Frenzy The dragon makes one claw Strike and one tail Strike in either order, each against the same target. If either Strike hits, the dragon automatically Grabs the target.
Draconic Momentum The dragon recharges their Breath Weapon whenever they score a critical hit with a Strike.
Draining Blight (healing, necromancy, negative, primal) Frequency once per day; Effect The dragon draws moisture from the living creatures surrounding them, using the energy to heal their own wounds. Each living creature in a 30-foot emanation takes 9d10 negative damage (DC 41 basic Fortitude save). Creatures made entirely of water and plant creatures use the outcome one degree of success worse than they rolled. The dragon regains Hit Points equal to half of the highest damage a single creature takes from this effect. In addition, all non-creature plant life in the area withers and dies, eliminating non-magical undergrowth and any resulting difficult terrain, cover, and concealment. Water is also consumed in the same way, typically lowering any standing body of water fully within the area by 1 foot.
Forest Shape When casting tree shape, a forest dragon can become a tree of the same size and age as themself.
Greater Constrict 4d8+10 bludgeoning, DC 41 (page 305)
