Converting Creatures from Other Campaign Settings

This thing sounds like another linnorm or Snakes in Space. It has dorsal fins but there's not much else. No wings, but in space you can have almost perfect maneuverability due to no gravity/friction. The chances of using this in any game but a space faring one are slim.

Freyar's stats are acceptable.

Enough is enough! I have had it with these mothering drakes in this mothering space!

Added to Homebrews.

We can adapt them to be often found in space, but occasionally find their way to a planet's surface for richer feeding grounds.

Speaking of space, we'll need to give them an ability that allows them to survive there (no need to breathe, probably immunity to cold and decompression effects).

The breath weapon is really fun. Essentially, it's magic missle. Or a meteor swarm that deals force damage!

I think we should give them a crush attack, since they are big enough and capable of flight.

Didn't spelljammer say "Well it's big enough to have an Oxygen bubble and gravity, so it has it."

 

[freyar]

Well, the Beyond the Moons radiant dragon just uses a line of force, but I like the idea of a force-based meteor swarm. Perhaps just a single sphere, though? To avoid turning it into a ranged attack, drop the bludgeoning and always treat it as hitting a square?

 

[Shade]

It could work like Mordenkainen's Force Missiles.

 

[freyar]

Good idea! Aim at how many victims?

 

[Shade]

I'd stick with up to six "pulses". 12d6 force seems reasonable for a creature of its probably CR.

 

[demiurge1138]

I'm okay with that.

Thoughts on dropping the "strikes unneringly" bit and replace with a Reflex save like most breath weapons?
