Special abilities[]
An ancient shadow dragon has immunity to ability drain and level drain and the usual dragon immunities to mind-affecting spells, paralysis, and sneak attacks. It also has permanent true seeing.
This creature can cast mass camouflage as a spell-like ability once per day at a caster level of 13. It can also use its aura of dragon fear twice per day and negative energy dragon breath six times per day.
Notes[]
- This creature also has a daily use of shadowblend, but the standard AI is unable to make use of this ability.
