D&D 5E Moonstone dragons from Celebration

[J.Quondam]

All 5e dragons get spellcasting as an optional rule rather than part of the statblock. There might be more info on that in the book proper, but the MM already gives guidance on spellcasting dragons as an option rather than a default.

Oh, that's right. I'd forgotten that.

where is the breath weapon hiding?

Maybe its very clever trick is to get a PC to stick their head in its mouth to look for the breath weapon?

diabolical that is truly evil(I know it is a joke).

One can always add a Breath Weapon, Spellcasting, and whatever else to its stat block.

Nope, although the Ancient Moonstone Dragon might get Spellcasting or something, because outside of its Lair, this one boring Dragon,which means it's no good for a mobile villain or hero NPC. All its Goodies are Lair locked.

Maybe the Ancient Moonstone Dragon will be able to move its Lair around.

Personally I think adult and up should have lair actions unless they’re in another more powerful creature’s lair, with some bonuses to everything in their proper lair.

Yeah. I’d probably give a Moonstone Dragon some sorcerer style casting with a very thematic spell list, including the Dragon’s Breath spell, fog cloud, and Blink.

Just for the fun, where did you find this link on the Carnaval's map ? It's the only clue I miss...

I have in mind of giving them a breath that replicate the effect of the ''scatter'' spell in its AOE and then the PC are Invisible to their allies until they make a CHA save!

I was thinking maybe a Sleep effect, and then it talks to them in their dreams after they succumb. Maybe an initial save against the sleep effect, and then on a subsequent turn it can affect all sleeping creatures with the effect of a suggestion spell (separate saving throw to resist).
