They look like elongated,  wingless red dragons, with gray-scaled bodies tinged with red on the  back and belly.Ibrandlins speak halting Draconic.CombatIbrandlins  attack with a lethal combination of raking claws and a vicious bite.  They rear up on their tails in order to use all four claws at once while  simultaneously either biting or using their fiery breath weapon. They  follow the simple commands of the clerics of Ibrandul—“Attack!” and  “Defend!” are common commands—but the beasts are also trained to “stand  guard,” meaning that they will prevent a designated creature from  moving.Breath Weapon (Su): Once every 5 rounds, an  ibrandlin can breathe a 30-foot cone of fire that deals 2d6 points of  fire damage to every creature it touches. Affected characters who make a  successful Reflex save (DC 21) take half damage. An ibrandlin can use  its breath weapon and its claw attacks in the same round by using a full  attack action. In this case, the creature forfeits its bite attack in  favor of the breath weapon.Pin (Ex): An ibrandlin  can jump and land on opponents as a standard action, using its whole  body to attack. A pin attack is effective only against Medium-size or  smaller opponents. An ibrandlin can pin as many creatures as will fit  under its body (a 10-ft.-by-30-ft. area). Creatures in the affected area  must roll successful Reflex saves (DC 21) or be pinned under the  ibrandlin. The ibrandlin can choose whether or not to deal damage.  Creatures that lie still are simply pinned (treat as a grapple attack),  while those that move or fight take 4d6 points of damage per round until  they escape.Fire Subtype (Ex): Fire immunity, double damage from cold except on a successful save.Now, that thing is obviously not CR 5 (what were they thinking?) but I think it should be within the means of a 7th level party as a "boss fight", especially if it's chained in place and so can't move freely. Just make sure that the dungeon layout doesn't enable the PCs to attack it from complete safety, either.</blockquote>
