Ancient Orichalcum Dragon - AI-generated fantasy Monster

Ancient Orichalcum Dragon

The first orichalcum was not mined. According to dragon legend, it fell from the stars carrying the memory of a dead god's crown. The Ancient Orichalcum Dragon claims to be the metal's rightful guardian and has spent millennia gathering every significant fragment. Its hoard is less a collection of wealth than an archive of civilizations, treaties, weapons, and failed attempts to control the world.

Living Forge. The dragon can breathe air and magma. It does not need to eat, drink, or sleep, and it is immune to the effects of extreme heat.
Magic Resistance. The dragon has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects. In addition, its weapon attacks are magical.
Metal-Eater. The dragon's attacks deal double damage to objects and structures. It can move through nonmagical metal as if it were difficult terrain, leaving a glowing tunnel behind it.
Innate Spellcasting. The dragon can cast the spells listed in its spell section, requiring no material components. Its spellcasting ability is Charisma.
Frightful Presence. The dragon's presence inspires awe and terror. Each creature of the dragon's choice within 120 feet that is aware of it must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or become frightened for 1 minute. A frightened creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.
Orichalcum Regeneration. The dragon regains 30 hit points at the start of its turn if it has at least 1 hit point and is touching metal, stone, or earth. This trait does not function while the dragon is completely airborne.
Multiattack. The dragon makes one Bite attack and two Claw attacks.
Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: to hit, reach 15 ft., one target. Hit: 20 () piercing damage plus 9 () force damage.
Claw. Melee Weapon Attack: to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 16 () slashing damage.
Tail. Melee Weapon Attack: to hit, reach 20 ft., one target. Hit: 18 () bludgeoning damage. If the target is Huge or smaller, it must succeed on a Strength saving throw or be pushed up to 15 feet and knocked prone.
Wing Attack. The dragon beats its wings. Each creature within 15 feet of the dragon must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or take 16 () bludgeoning damage and be knocked prone. The dragon can then fly up to half its flying speed.
Molten Orichalcum Breath. The dragon exhales a storm of molten orichalcum in a 90-foot cone. Each creature in that area must make a Dexterity saving throw, taking 88 () force and radiant damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. A creature that fails the save is also marked by searing metal until the end of its next turn. While marked, it sheds bright light in a 20-foot radius, cannot benefit from invisibility, and has disadvantage on concentration checks. The dragon cannot use this breath again until it recharges on a roll of 5 or 6 at the start of its turn.
Sovereign Glare. The dragon chooses one creature it can see within 120 feet. The target must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or become overwhelmed by visions of its greatest ambition for 1 minute. While affected, the creature is charmed by the dragon and incapacitated. The target can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. The effect ends early if the dragon damages the target.
Orichalcum Deflection. When the dragon is hit by an attack, it adds 5 to its AC against that attack, potentially causing it to miss. The dragon must see the attacker and cannot use this reaction if it is incapacitated.
Relentless Motion. The dragon makes one Tail attack or moves up to half its speed without provoking opportunity attacks.
Claw. The dragon makes one Claw attack.
Orichalcum Shackles (Costs 2 Actions). The dragon targets one creature it can see within 60 feet. The target must succeed on a Strength saving throw or be restrained by bands of molten metal until the end of its next turn. A restrained creature takes 10 () fire damage at the start of its turn.
Imperial Decree (Costs 3 Actions). The dragon uses Sovereign Glare or recharges Molten Orichalcum Breath.
