It's in the <a href="http://media.wizards.com/2014/downloads/dnd/HoardDragonQueen_Supplement1.pdf" target="_blank">Hoard of the Dragon Queen supplement</a>, page 4: Adult Blue Dragon.Apparently, Legendary consists of the following:1. The Legendary creature gets three "get out of jail free" cards to use on failed saving throws. Three times per day, when it fails a saving throw, it can say, "Nah, I succeed anyway. I'm LEGEN--wait for it...--DARY!"2. The Legendary creature gets special "legendary actions" which it takes at the end of other people's turns. It can take up to three legendary actions per round, but only one per turn. For the blue dragon, they include a Perception check, a tail slap, and a wing buffet which costs two actions. I am assuming the dragon can use the same option multiple times, though it's not clear from the text.Presumably, being Legendary also gives you a boatload of extra hit dice, but they're rolled into the dragon's regular stats so there's no way to tell what's coming from Legendariness and what's regular dragon-stats.Discuss!</blockquote>
