A unique crossbreed netween a green dragon and a sea dragon, the amphidragon is one of the most cruel and repulsive denizens of the ocean, sharing the green dragons' hatred of all humanoid creatures.
The amphidragon resembles a giant toad with tiny, vestigial wings and webbed feet. The amphidragon's scales are smooth, flexible deep green, with scattered yellow warts. The amphidragon can change the colour of its skin to match its surroundings. Bony ridges surround the dragon's beady eyes, and it exudes a strong odour of rotten eggs.
Amphidragons are too lazy to build elaborate lairs, and live in sunken ships or underwater caves. They prefer to hide in the mud of the ocean floor and wait for victims.
Amphidragons speak Dragonspeak, Dargoi, and the languages common to any humanoids that sail through their waters.
Combat
An amphidragon attacks with little or no provocation, and creatures of any size are potential victims. It uses its breath weapon first, then closes for claw and bite attacks. An amphidragon may intentionally prolong a combat to savour the death throes of a doomed opponent.
Acid (Ex): The amphidragon's warts ooze acid. Each time an opponent strikes the dragon in melee, he suffers 1d6 points of acid damage (Reflex save to avoid, DC 10 + ½ dragon's HD + Constitution modifier).
Breath Weapon (Su): An amphidragon has one type of breath weapon, a line of acid that is equally effective underwater and in the open air.
Improved Grab (Ex): The amphidragon can attempt a tongue strike with reach equal to its HD in feet. If the amphidragon succeeds in a grapple check, the opponent is stuck to its tongue and automatically bitten in each subsequent round.
Spell-Like Abilities (Sp): 1 day — deeper darkness, detect magic, and suggestion.
Water Breathing (Ex): The dragon can breathe underwater indefinitely and can freely use its breath weapon, spells, and other abilities while submerged.
Skills: Amphidragons have the Hide and Jump skills for free at 1 rank per Hit Die.
