Actions

Multiattack.

The dragon attacks once with its bite and twice with its claws.

Claw.

Melee Weapon Attack: +10 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 15 (2d8 + 6) slashing damage.

Fire Breath (Recharge 5–6).

The dragon exhales a blast of fire that fills a 30-foot cone. Each creature in that area makes a DC 17 Dexterity saving throw taking 52 (15d6) fire damage on a failed save or half damage on a success. A creature that fails the saving throw also takes 5 (1d10) ongoing fire damage. While affected by this ongoing damage it is frightened of the dragon. A creature can use an action to end the ongoing damage.
