Gold Dragon

Regional Effects

Source: Monster Manual (2024)

The region containing an adult or ancient gold dragon’s lair is altered by its presence, creating the following effects:

  • Dream Messenger. While in its lair, the dragon can cast Dream, requiring no Material components and using Charisma as the spellcasting ability. When casting the spell this way, the dragon can target any creature within 6 miles.
  • Foretelling Fog. The area within 1 mile of the lair is Lightly Obscured by opalescent fog. While in that area, creatures can’t be surprised, as the fog swirls into shapes that warn of danger.

If the dragon dies or moves its lair elsewhere, these effects end immediately.
