Creatures who take damage from a styx dragon's breath weapon take half that damage again at the start of their turn for the next two rounds. ### Stupifying Breath (Su) Instead of a line of acid, a styx dragon can breathe a cone of stupifying breath. Creatures within the cone must succeed on a Fortitude save or take 1 point of Intellignece damage per age category. ### Styx Adaptation (Ex) Styx dragons are immune to the harmful effects of the River Styx, and they can breathe water. #### ecology **Treasure** Triple Also known as shadowdrakes or darkwyrms, Styx dragons haunt the putrid waters of the River Styx throughout its nearly infinite length. One of the few creatures immune to the harmful effects of the river, Styx dragons swim with impunity across the top layers of all the Lower Planes, feast- ing on fiends and any other creature they can find and catch. A Styx dragon has a long, serpentine body with tiny, flip- perlike claws that are useless on land and in combat. Its wings are too small to carry it aloft, but help to propel it through the water. Its tail splits into two long, bladed whips that it can use to slash and grab its prey. A Styx drag- on’s scales are slimy and range from dark brown to rusty red in color. Its eyes glow with a lurid yellow light. Styx dragons make their lairs by burrowing into the mud on the banks of the Styx. They do not like to leave their native plane, but if one is forcibly brought to the Material Plane, it will thrive in fetid water. Styx dragons normally subsist on the flesh of fiends, but enjoy eating any meat— particularly rotting carrion.
