Scales.png This page is of questionable balance. Reason: Although mythic monsters can go up to CR 50, this creature's statistics are far above what a CR 50 creature should have with the Mythic Monsters (5e Variant Rule). Besides that issue, the creature has an absurd number of features, ability scores beyond 30.

Divine Might. If Bahamut attacks and effects ignore the resistances and immunities of creatures of CR 25 and below. Bahamut attacks and effects targeting creatures of CR 26-35 ignore resistances and treat immunities as resistance (condition immunities provide advantage in lieu of immunity).

God of Metallic Dragons. Bahamut can, as a legendary action, duplicate the effects of any lair action that a metallic dragon can take, even if he is not in his lair, if he does so, the lair action will have twice the range, DC, damage, and/or effect, In addition, he can use a bonus action to see and hear through any metallic dragon.
