Ancient Red Dragon

The ancient red dragon is wrath given scale and wing, the archetype every other fire-breather is measured against. Wherever it nests, the stone itself runs hot, and lesser creatures flee its presence before it ever opens its jaws.

• Frightful Presence (aura, emotion, fear, mental) 90 feet, DC 40
