Traits
Keen Senses A firedrake has advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on sight, hearing or smell.
Telepathy A firedrake can magically communicate telepathically with any other creature within 100 ft of it that can understand a language.
Variant: Familiar A firedrake can serve another creature as a familiar, forming a magic, telepathic bond with that willing companion. While the two are bonded, the companion can sense what the firedrake senses as long as they are within 1 mile of each other. While the firedrake is within 10 feet of its companion, the companion shares the canopy dragon's Magic Resistance trait. At any time and for any reason, the firedrake can end its service as a familiar. Thus ending the telepathic bond.
Pyrophic Blood A firedrake’s blood is highly flammable and ignites in a burst of flame upon contact with the air. A creature that makes a successful attack with a slashing or piercing weapon (including natural weapons) against it, then must make a DC 11 Dexterity save or take 4 (1d8) points of fire damage from the splashing blood.
Death Burst When a firedrake dies, it explodes in a burst of pyrophic blood. Each creature within 5 ft. of it must make a DC 11 Dexterity saving throw, taking 8 (2d8) fire damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
Actions.
Bite, Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 7 (2d4 + 2) piercing damage.
Breath Weapon (5/day) The Firedrake exhales fire in a 60-foot (18.3 meter) line that is 10 feet (3 meters) wide. Each creature in its path must make a DC 13 Dexterity saving throw, taking 10 (3d6) fire damage on a failed save or half as much damage on a successful one.
