Earth Glide.

The dragon can burrow through nonmagical, unworked earth and stone without disturbing it.

Essence Link.

The essence dragon is spiritually linked to a specific area or landmark. The dragon gains no benefit from a long rest when more than 1 mile away from its linked area. If the dragon dies, the area it is linked to loses its vital essence until it forms a new essence dragon, which can take centuries. When a creature first enters an area that has lost its vital essence in this way, they gain a level of fatigue and a level of strife. This fatigue and strife can be removed only by completing a long rest outside the area.

False Appearance.

While the dragon remains motionless within its linked area, it is indistinguishable from a natural rocky outcropping.

Actions

Bite.

Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 13 (2d10 + 2) piercing damage.

Scouring Breath (Recharge 5–6).

The dragon breathes scouring sand and stones in a 15-foot cone. Each creature in that area makes a DC 12 Dexterity saving throw taking 10 (3d6) slashing damage on a failed save or half damage on a success.
