How to defeat an adult red dragon? ›

The most obvious thing when fighting a dragon is the party needs to fan out and surround it and avoid clumping for the breath attack. Make sure everyone at the table understands that. Also, everyone needs a ranged option, or some way to get flying, because otherwise the dragon will fly up and you will be useless.

A hatchling had a 1‑foot-long (0.3‑meter) 3‑foot-long (0.91‑meter) body and 3‑foot-long (0.91‑meter) tail, while an adult had a body length of around 12 feet (3.7 meters) to 18 feet (5.5 meters) and a tail length of around 17 feet (5.2 meters) to 21 feet (6.4 meters).

Red dragons are weak to bolts, although other ranged weapons will prove effective. Ranged armour will protect you from their magic attacks, and you can place yourself out the range of their melee attacks.

Speed 40 ft., climb 40 ft., fly 80 ft.

Life Cycle

A red dragon is a wyrmling until the age of eight or so, and young until about 200. It attains elder status at around 950 and becomes an ancient around 1,900. The oldest known red dragon reached approximately 2,500 years.

As a dragon dies, it may choose to pass on a gift to someone nearby. This may be their killer or it could be someone the dragon has chosen as an heir to their power. They may lay a claw on the chosen one or breathe their last breath onto them.

Lair Actions

Magma erupts from a point on the ground the dragon can see within 120 feet of it, creating a 20-foot-high, 5-foot-radius geyser. Each creature in the geyser's area must make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw, taking 21 (6d6) fire damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

Adult metallic dragons can innately shapeshift, but coloured dragons cannot. However, just because they can't shapeshift rules as written (RAW) doesn't mean you can't make it so they can in your world. In the realms of Dungeons & Dragons, the chromatic dragons stand as the iconic symbols of power, treachery, and evil.

What is the oldest being in D&D? ›

The Eldest was an aboleth of massive size, incalculable age and inconceivable malignancy. It ruled the city of Xxiphu and the Abolethic Sovereignty.

Red dragons are the largest and most powerful of the classic chromatic dragons. They are large with a wide wingspan. They have two swept back horns on their heads.

Like all the figures in the D&D Icons line, this Red Dragon is playable in both the D&D Miniatures skirmish game and any roleplaying campaign. † While the printed description states the 6″×6″ colossal base size for 3.5 D&D, the figure is actually on an 8″×8″ base (the colossal base size for 3.0 D&D).

A black dragon grew up to a maximum size of 16 feet (4.9 meters) tall, 85 feet (26 meters) in length, with a wingspan of 80 feet (24 meters). They weighed up to 159,000 pounds (72,100 kilograms).

Try to wait until the dragon hovers or lands. When the dragon is in the ground or air (hovering in the same place) shoot arrows in the wing so when he lands he will fall and slide in the ground. He will stay stunned in the ground long is a perfect chance to attack him with physical attacks.

If you place several end crystals on the portal, wait for the dragon to swoop down and perch on the portal, then shoot the crystals with a bow or throw a egg/snowball at it. The dragon takes the explosive damage, plus 10 extra points of damage if the crystal was destroyed while the dragon is charging from it.

If you wish to attack the dragon directly, it's recommended to use bleed weapons that deal a percentage of health when hemorrhaging. You can also avoid attacking Greyoll entirely and defeat her five children - the smaller dragons closest to Greyoll - as killing each of them will deplete her health by 1/5.
