[QUOTE="Imaro, post: 7005715, member: 48965"] I can only speak for myself but... It tells me this dragon is a deceiver and it's a stealthy monster with preternatural senses and awareness...will try to use darkness to it's advantage It tells me the dragon will use it's frightful presence as an opener before attacking with claw and fang to cow and weaken prey... It tells me it has a tail attack it can use for enemies that are out of the range of it's claws and fangs as well as to launch attacks on fleeing enemies outside of it's bite or claws. It tells me it is able to quickly attack with claws and bite after using Frightful Pressence in the same action, it's multiattack uses all 3 (talk about overwhelming) It tells me that against air breathers/land dwellers this dragon, if given the opportunity, will try to take the fight into and under water where it has an advantage... It uses poison as a Breath weapon and because of it's immunity to poison would try to make sure the terrain (lair)it battles in is poisonous to it's foes in some way. It can easily shake off some major spell effects (for awhile) and thus would try to use this to identify spellcasters and/or make them waste their more powerful spells while trying to finish them off quickly Honestly I don't see any more "story" in the black from 4e than in the green from 5e.
