The Green Dragon, with its emerald scales mimicking the verdant canopy, is a master of wooded realms. It blends perfectly with the foliage, lying in wait for unsuspecting prey. Using its sharp intellect and manipulative nature, it lures creatures into traps by mimicking sounds or using enticing scents. More than just a physical threat, it can be a manipulator of the forest itself.

Enemies struck must also succeed on an Intellect defense roll or become disoriented, suffering a one-step hindrance to all actions for the next two rounds due to hallucinogenic effects.
Interactions: Prefers to engage with wit and guile over brute force. Will bargain for rare tomes, magical items, or fascinating stories. Can be a source of wisdom if persuaded.

GM Intrusion: The Green Dragon's camouflage is so perfect that a character could stumble right into its clutches'or the dragon chooses this moment to reveal its presence in a terrifying display of power.
