Although the target isn’t under the Dragon’s control, it takes the dragon’s requests or actions in the most favorable way it can. Each time the Dragon or its allies do anything harmful to the target, it can repeat the saving throw, ending the effect on itself on a success. Otherwise, the effect lasts 24 hours or until the Dragon dies, is on a different plane of existence from the target, or ends the effect as a bonus action.

Unlike most other Dragon, Fey Dragons have a long, slender body and have no wings. More so, it is known to be the only Dragon to actually have fur on its body. This fur covers its chest, underbelly, legs and tail in colors ranging from brown to a dark yellow. Its head has a long snout and large stag-like horns with spikes running down its back and tail. Its feet are said to be quite different from other Dragons and allow Fey Dragons to move swiftly on land. Fey Dragons are omnivores, feeding mainly on fish, rodents and smaller prey. On occasions they do hunt medium to larger creatures and have been known to eat berries and other small fruits. Fey Dragons skill sets revolve around trickery and knowing its surrounding area. Often or not it will prefer to avoid confrontations, however, will defend themselves if need be. Once the threat has left, Fey Dragons wont chase after the threat and instead let it go. If it sense that the threat is more powerful than itself and the odds of winning are stacked against it, the Fey Dragon will retreat and move elsewhere. Most Fey Dragons keep a rather calm and playful nature when unprovoked. They show great interest in humanoids way of life and especially that of travelers and adventures, seeming to stalk the unaware individual or if bored will toy with the humanoid and try and stir a reaction. Fey Dragons are a lover for music and entertainment, often requesting a humanoid to play them something or put on an show, to tell a joke if the humanoid wants aid or to pass through their domain. In the days where the Feywild was but a new land, it was ravaged by the forces of chaos and shadows. Those who called it their home seeked protection from their aggressors and approached Bahumet, the god of Dragons, who out of pity, granted them some of his greatest dragon warriors to assist in guarding the glory of the Feywild. For millennium, these dragons protected the lands of the Feywild and adapted to their new environment over time. They developed horns and grew thick fur over their scales. Over time, they lost their wings as they were a deterrent among the thick forests of the Feywild. In return, the developed amazing psychic capabilities and control over ones mind through charm and illusion. A Fey Dragon’s Lair A Fey Dragons lair is typically a large grove, lake, or hill with lots of plants and animals. Lair Actions On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), the dragon takes a lair action to cause one of the following effects: The dragon creates fog as though it had cast the fog cloud spell. The fog lasts until initiative count 20 on the next round. One creature the dragon can see within 120 feet of it must succeed on a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw or be transformed into a beast of the dragon's choice as though it had cast the polymorph spell. To return to normal, the creature must use its action to make a Wisdom check contested by the dragon’s Charisma. If the creature wins, it returns to normal. Otherwise, the effect ends on initiative count 20 on the next round. Regional Effects The region containing a legendary fey dragon’s lair is warped by the dragon’s magic, which creates one or more of the following effects: The area within 6 miles of the dragons lair attracts many Fey and beasts, and the water in this are is clean. Hallucinations of Large or smaller monsters haunt the wilds within 1 mile of the dragon’s lair. These illusions move and appear real, although they can do no harm. A creature that examines an image from a distance can tell it’s an illusion with a successful DC 20 Intelligence (Investigation) check. Any physical interaction with an image reveals it to be an illusion, because objects pass through it. The dragon can sense the surroundings of any beast within 3 miles of its lair. If the dragon dies, these effects fade in 1d10 days. Variant: Shuffling Psyche (1/Day). The Fey Dragon fey abilities give it mastery over the minds of creatures, creating illusions and changing alignments in an instant. Every creature of the dragon's choice within a 60-ft radius must succeed on a DC 19 Wisdom. On a failed save, all targets swap bodies at the DM's discretion and players gain control of another player/creatures character sheet/stat block. A remove curse spell can end this effect. Casting this will return a character to their original body and send the soul in their body back to its original body.
