The mist emanates from the dragon at a distance of 5 feet per age category. Creatures who ends its turn inside the mist must succeed at a Will save or become shaken for 1 round per age category. Leaving the mist does not remove the shaken effect before the end of its duration. This is a fear effect. ### Breath Weapon (Su) The gloom dragon can breathe a cone of apathy gas. Creatures caught in the cone must succeed at a Will save or succumb to a deep and lasting apathy for 1d6 rounds plus 1 round per age category of the dragon. Apathetic creatures must make a Will save in order to perform their next action, otherwise they take no actions that round. Attacking an apathetic creature grants them an additional Will save against the effect. ### Eternal Consumption (Su) Whenever a gloom dragon eats a dead creature no larger than two size categories smaller than itself a new tombstone plate grows on the gloom dragon's back. This requires 10 rounds for a creature two size categories smaller than the gloom dragon -4 rounds per size category smaller than that (minimum 1 round). The tombstone plate records the consumed creature's name (if any), date and place of birth, and date and place of death. Only a carefully worded wish or miracle, followed by a resurrection, can restore a consumed creature to life— and only then after the gloom dragon is slain.
