Type of Dragon changes abilities:-
Detect.
The dragon carefully watches the creature that just ended its turn. If the dragon can’t see the creature, it makes a Wisdom (Perception) check to find it. Until the end of the watched creature’s next turn, any attack roll the creature makes against the dragon has disadvantage if the dragon can see it, and the dragon makes Dexterity saving throws against the creature with advantage. The dragon loses this benefit if it is incapacitated or if its speed drops to 0.
Tail Sweep.
The dragon makes a tail attack against the creature that just ended its turn. On a hit, the target is also knocked prone, unless it succeeds on a DC x Strength saving throw. On a miss, the target still takes half damage from the tail attack, unless it succeeds on a DC x Dexterity saving throw.
Wing Attack (2 actions).
The dragon beats its wings. Each creature within 10 feet of the dragon must succeed on a DC x Dexterity saving throw or take x bludgeoning damage and be knocked prone. The dragon can then fly up to half its flying speed.
Fire Breath (Recharge 5–6).
The RED dragon head exhales fire in a 15--foot cone. Each creature in that area must make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw, taking 31 (7d8) fire damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
Dragon Shout.
The magical shout of a PURPLE dragon can be heard for a great distance. Trees bend and the shout usually knocks over any creatures in its path.
