Underdark landwyrm

Underdark landwyrms, which were sometimes called cave dragons, were a species of landwyrm endemic to the Underdark.

Description
Underdark landwyrms were smaller than other landwyrms but still quite large. They had dark grey scales.

Personality
Underdark landwyrms were said to be evil creatures.

Abilities
Underdark landwyrms, like many other dragons, possessed a fear-inducing aura with a radius. Unlike many other dragons, they had poor vision and hearing, instead relying on a combination of scent and echolocation to pinpoint creatures within of them.

Underdark landwyrms were capable of exhaling a cloud of obscuring mist thrice each day. Their claws were known to leave nasty bleeding wounds, and they were skilled swimmers.

Combat
Underdark landwyrms preferred to cloak their approach with the obscuring mist they exhaled, before suddenly ambushing prey. They typically retreated after merely injuring foes, relying on the wounds they inflicted with their claws to fell them.

Ecology
Underdark landwyrms spent their entire existence in the darkness below ground, where they made elaborate lairs that took advantage of natural surroundings such as chasms and lakes. They were known to be partial to gifts of magic.

Landwyrms were among the dragons affected by the Dracorage.
