Requiem Dragon (Young)

CREATURE 11

Requiem dragons are stewards of the River of Souls and the process through which souls reach their final destination in the afterlife. The safe journey of a soul is of utmost importance to a requiem dragon, and some will follow individual souls from their first entry into the river through to their judgment in the Boneyard and eventually to their ultimate resting place. Most requiem dragons tie themselves to specific planes and shepherd any souls bound to that plane, leading to dragons linked to places like Heaven or Hell, though these dragons never swear true allegiance to these planes. Requiem dragons fill their lairs along the River of Souls—patchworks of somber architecture rescued from other planes—with invaluable records and mementos of great accomplishments.

Soul Journey (divine, exploration)

Soul Anchor (divine)

A creature within 60 feet would drop to 0 Hit Points

Effect The dragon anchors the triggering creature's soul to its body. The creature remains at 1 Hit Point, becomes Doomed 2, and gains fast healing equal to the dragon's level for 1 minute. The creature becomes temporarily immune to further Soul Anchor usages for 24 hours.

Effect: Soul Anchor

Withhold Death (divine)

Trigger The dragon is critically hit by an attack

Dooming Breath (divine, spirit)

Energy from Creation's Forge erupts from the dragon's mouth, dealing 9d8 spirit damage in a 60-foot line (DC 30 basic Reflex save). Undead creatures who fail the save must also succeed at a DC 30 Will save or become Doomed 1. If the target is already doomed, the doomed value increases by 1 (to a maximum of Doomed 4). The dragon can't use Dooming Breath again for 1d4 rounds.

Draconic Frenzy

The dragon makes two claw strikes and one tail strike in any order.

Draconic Momentum

The dragon recharges their Dooming Breath whenever they score a critical hit with a Strike.

Grab

Requirements The monster's last action was a successful Strike that lists Grab in its damage entry, or the monster has a creature Grabbed or Restrained

Effect If used after a Strike, the monster attempts to Grapple the creature using the body part it attacked with. This attempt neither applies nor counts toward the creature's multiple attack penalty.

The monster can instead use Grab and choose one creature it's grabbing or restraining with an appendage that has Grab to automatically extend that condition to the end of the monster's next turn.
