Such creatures can only be restored to life through _true resurrection_ or similar magic. ### Penance Aura (Su) Evil creatures within 5 feet of an oceanus dragon are sickened. ### Slick (Su) An oceanus dragon is constantly damp, even when fully out of the water. Any creature who touches an oceanus dragon, or is hit with one of its natural attacks, is treated as if doused with holy water. ### Smite Evil (Su) An oceanus dragon can smite evil like a paladin. An oceanus dragon's effective paladin level is equal to half its hit die. ### Tranquil Breath (Su) Instead of a line of electricity, an oceanus dragon can breath a 70-foot cone of soothing vapor. Creatures in the area must succeed on a DC 33 Will save or be dazed for 1d6+12 rounds. A successful will save negates the effect. This is a mind-affecting, emotion compulsion effect. ### Tranquil Mist (Su) An oceanus dragon can use its breath weapon to create a spread of tranquil mist. This functions like _fog cloud_, except that creatures within the cloud must succeed on a Will save or be affected as if by _calm emotions_. Regardless of whether they save, creatures within the cloud move a half speed and take a –2 penalty on attack rolls. This is a mind-affecting, emotion compulsion effect. #### Ecology **Environment:** Any (Oceanus) **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 The Oceanus dragon protects travelers along the River Oceanus, which connects the Upper Planes in the same manner that the River Styx links the Lower Planes, while jealously guarding its domain against evil creatures of all kinds. Oceanus dragons appear much like great winged eels, with relatively short limbs ending in webbed fingers. Though capable of flight, most Oceanus dragons prefer life in the water to that in the air. The typical lair of an Oceanus dragon is a hidden cave, either along a riverbank or completely underwater. Most Oceanus dragons spend little time in their lairs, instead patrolling a stretch of river in search of good-aligned creatures in need of assistance or evil creatures in need of punishment. ### Combat Oceanus dragons prefer to end fights quickly, using their tranquility breath weapon and spell-like abilities to neutralize foes. However, they aren’t afraid to go toe-to-toe with particularly resistant opponents, using their lightning breath weapon, smite evil ability, and prodigious melee attacks to make short work of their enemies.
