Superior Invisibility. As a bonus action, the dragon can magically turn invisible until its concentration
ends (as if concentrating on a spell). Any equipment the dragon wears or carries is invisible with it.
Limited Telepathy. Using telepathy, the dragon can magically communicate with any other faerie dragon
within 60 feet of it.
Magic Resistance. The dragon has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.
Innate Spellcasting. The dragon’s innate spellcasting ability is Charisma (spell save DC 13). It can
innately cast a number of spells, requiring no material components. As the dragon ages and changes color,
it gains additional spells as shown below.
Red, 1/day each: dancing lights, mage hand, minor illusion
Orange, 1/day: color spray
Yellow, 1/day: mirror image
Green, 1/day: suggestion
Blue, 1/day: major image

Actions
Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature. Hit: 1 piercing damage.
Euphoria Breath (Recharge 5–6). The dragon exhales a puff of euphoria gas at one creature within 5 feet
of it. The target must succeed on a DC 11 Wisdom saving throw, or for 1 minute, the target can’t take
reactions and must roll a d6 at the start of each of its turns to determine its behavior during the turn:
1–4. The target takes no action or bonus action and uses all of its movement to move in a random
direction.
5–6. The target doesn’t move, and the only thing it can do on its turn is make a DC 11 Wisdom saving
throw, ending the effect on itself on a success.
Description
A faerie dragon is a cat-sized dragon with butterfly wings. It wears a sharp-toothed grin and expresses its
delight by the twitching of its tail, its merriment fading only if it is attacked.
Invisible Tricksters. The only warning of a faerie dragon’s presence is a stifled giggle. The dragon stays
out of sight, watching invisibly as its victims contend with its pranks. When its fun is done, the dragon
might reveal itself, depending on the disposition of its “prey.”
Friendly and Bright. A faerie dragon has a sharp mind, a fondness for treasure and good company, and a
puckish sense of humor. Travelers can play to a faerie dragon’s draconic nature by offering it “treasure” in
the form of sweets, baked goods, and baubles in exchange for information or safe passage through its
territory.
The Colors of Age. A faerie dragon’s scales change hue as it ages, moving through all the colors of the
rainbow. All faerie dragons have innate spellcasting ability, gaining new spells as they mature.
