They take twice as long to disperse with wind of warmth. They take twice as long to disperse with wind of warmth. Objects and creatures within such fog effects (as well as the effects themselves) gain fire resistance 5. ### Mist Form (Su) A mist dragon can take mist form, becoming insubstantial, misty, and translucent. While in this form, the mist dragon loses it natural armor, but gains a deflection bonus to AC equal to twice its age category. Its fly speed is reduced by half, but its maneuverability becomes perfect. It gains DR 10/magic (or increases its existing DR by 10) and becomes immune to poison, sneak attacks, and critical hits. While in mist form, a mist dragon is considered to be invisible while within fog, mist or clouds. A mist dragon can still speak and move normally in mist form, and can cast any spells that do not require expensive material components. It can use any of its supernatural and spell abilities while in mist form. ### Sickening Breath (Su) Instead of a line of scalding steam, a mist dragon can breathe a 40-ft. cone of pungent vapor. Creatures within the area must succeed on a DC 21 Fortitude save or be sickened for 1d6+6 rounds. #### Ecology **Environment:** Temperate Aquatic, Forest and Underground **Organization** Solitary (1 dragon, any age), clutch (1d4+1 wyrmlings, very young, young, or juveniles or young adults), family (pair of mature adults and 1d4+1 offspring) **Treasure** Triple **Advancement** By age category Mist dragons are solitary and philosophical. Their favorite activity is sitting quietly and thinking. They hate being disturbed and they dislike conversation. A wyrmling mist’s scales are shiny blue-white. As the dragon ages, the scales darken, becoming blue-gray with Planar silver flecks that sparkle in sunlight. Its eyes are sea green with silvery pupils. As it gets older, the dragon’s pupils seem to spread, until in the oldest the eyes resemble orbs of sure silver. Mist dragons live near waterfalls, rapids, coastlines, or where rainfall is frequent and heavy. Their lairs are usually large natural caverns or grottoes that are mist-filled and damp. Forest-dwelling mist dragons occasionally come into conflict with green dragons. Mist dragons greatly resent the green dragons’ attempts to intimidate or dominate them; they usually spend several months vainly trying to avoid a green dragon’s advances before losing all patience and launching an all-out campaign to destroy or drive away the aggressor. Likewise, coastal mist dragons might have bronze dragons for neighbors. This situation, however, seldom leads to conflict because both dragon types are content to leave each other alone. Mist dragons can eat almost anything, including woody plants and mud. However, they draw most of their sustenance directly from natural mist or spray. They often lie in misty or foggy places, thinking and basking in the moisture. ### Combat Mist dragons try to avoid encounters by assuming mist form and concealing themselves in fog or mist whenever they can. In a fight, they also hide. They use their sickening breath weapon against physically imposing foes. They prefer spells that confound and immobilize foes.
