A peridot dragon has a sleek, low-slung, wingless body with fine, yellow-green gleaming scales, which enables it to blend into the grasslands environment it favors. Prominent ear frills, reminiscent of a blue dragon's, twitch and bend as the dragon tracks sounds. A set of backward-pointing spines sweeps backward from the dragon's head.
Peridot dragons like to stalk and ambush their prey like a great cat, but they are also expert burrowers and will chase down their quarry or lie just below the soil in wait for a meal to move within range.
Combat
Combat text.
Breath Weapon (Su): A peridot dragon has one type of breath weapon, a cone of magma that deals fire damage.
Improved Grab (Ex): To use this ability, a peridot dragon must hit with a claw or bite attack. It can then attempt to start a grapple as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity. If it wins the grapple check, it establishes a hold and can rake.
Pounce (Ex): If a peridot dragon charges a foe, it can make a full attack, including two rake attacks.
Ripping Claws (Ex): The claw attacks of a peridot dragon are more deadly than normal dragons and deal twice as much damage as the claw attacks of other dragons of the same size. This double damage also applies to rake attacks.
Rake (Ex): When a peridot dragon is in a grapple, it can make four rake attacks at its full attack bonus, dealing damage as its claw attacks.
Psi-Like Abilities: 3/day—control air, energy ball (fire), truevenom; 1/day—fiery discorporation.
Skills: Hide, Listen, and Move Silently are class skills for peridot dragons.
