Aura of the Dragon Queen. Tiamat can use a bonus action to activate her elemental aura and it remains in effect until she uses another bonus action to contain it. The aura extends out in a 60-foot radius from her. Each creature that starts or ends its turn in the aura takes 28 (8d6) acid, 28 (8d6) cold, 28 (8d6) fire, 28 (8d6) poison, or 28 (8d6) lightning damage, Tiamat’s choice.

Chromatic Wrath (Recharges after a Short or Long Rest). If Tiamat is reduced to 0 hit points, her current hit point total instead rests to 7,500 hit points, she recharges her Breath Weapons, and she regains any expended uses of Legendary Resistance. Award a party an additional 1,220,000 (2,440,000) XP total) for defeating Tiamat after her Chromatic Wrath activates.

Titanic. Tiamat’s space is 100 feet by 100 feet and she has advantage on saving throws against being pushed or knocked prone. Additionally, when Tiamat hits a creature smaller than her with a melee attack each creature within 5 feet of the initial target must make a DC 34 Dexterity saving throw or suffer the same attack.

Chromatic Breath. When a creature, object, or area takes damage from one of Tiamat’s breath weapons it suffers additional effects based on the damage type: frost bitten (cold), dissolves, (acid), poisoned (poison), charged (lightning), or ignited (fire). The effects of which last for 6 (1d12) rounds. Affected targets take 28 (8d6) damage of the attack’s type at the start of their turn and a creature that ends their turn adjacent to or in an affected area also takes 28 (8d6) damage of the attack’s type.

  • Dissolves. The target cannot use reactions or bonus actions. A dissolving area is filled with a pool of acid.
  • Frost Bitten. The target cannot use reactions, and its speed is halved. A frost-bitten area is covered with ice and becomes difficult terrain. If a creature attempts to go over the frost-bitten area at normal speed, it must make a DC 25 Dexterity saving throw or fall prone.
  • Poisoned. The target’s speed is halved. A poisoned area is filled with 20-foot high poisonous clouds that obscure sight and can be dispersed by a strong wind (70+ mph).
  • Charged. The target takes an additional 28 (8d6) lightning damage any time it uses a reaction or bonus action. A charged area is filled with a 20-foot high spider-web of lighting.
  • Ignited. The target cannot take directions or bonus actions and suffers the effects of the spell heat metal. Ignited areas are discorporates if all of her heads are destroyed.

Discorporation. When Tiamat drops to 0 hit points, her body is destroyed but its essence travels back to its domain, and is unable to take physical form for a time. Additionally, Tiamat discorporates if all of her heads are destroyed.

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

Dominating Presence. When targeting a creature of CR 35 or below Tiamat’s charms ignore resistance and creatures with immunity have advantage on their saving throw instead. Tiamat can use a bonus or legendary action to exert precise control of creatures she has charmed.

Innate Spellcasting. Tiamat’s spell casting ability is Charisma (spell save DC 40, +32 to hit with attack spells). Each head can innately cast, requiring no components:

  • The black head cast all Necromancy spells of 6th level and lower once per day and the additional following spells:

Legendary Resistance (10/Day). If Tiamat fails a saving throw, it can choose to succeed instead.

Legendary Magic Immunity. Unless Tiamat wishes to be affected, it is immune to spells of 8th level or lower, and she is resistant to and has advantage on all other spells and magical effects.

Magic Weapons. Tiamat weapon attacks are magical.

Multiple Heads. Each of Tiamat’s heads can be targeted separately. Each head has 450 hit points and damage done to a head does not reduce Tiamat’s hit point total. If a head is reduced to 0 hit points, that head can no longer take actions or reactions until it has at least 1 hit point. If a head is reduced to -200 hit points it is destroyed and cannot function until it has been restored to 450 hit points. In addition, if she suffers an effect that would render her unconscious, she instead loses the use of one head for the duration of the effect instead. Tiamat chooses the head.

Multiple Limbs. Tiamat claws, wings, and tail can be targeted separately. Each claw or wing has 450 hit points and her tail has 600 hit points. Damage done to a limb does not reduce Tiamat’s hit point total. If a limb is reduced to 0 hit points, that limb can no longer take actions or reactions until it has at least 1 hit point. If a limb or tail is reduced to -200 hit points it is destroyed and cannot function until it has been restored to full hit points. Additionally, Tiamat cannot fly if a wing is at or below 0 hit points and her speed is reduced by 40 feet for each claw that is at or below 0 hit points.

Regeneration. Tiamat regains 50 hit points at the start of her turn. Additionally, Tiamat can choose to regain hit points in one or more of her heads or limbs instead.

Scales of the Dragon Queen. When Tiamat is targeted by a Magic Missile spell, line spell, cone spell, or a spell that requires a ranged attack roll a d6. On a roll of 1-2, the functions normally, on a roll of 3-4, the spell is deflected and Tiamat is unaffected. On a roll of 5-6, Tiamat is unaffected and the effect is reflected back at the caster as though it originated from Tiamat, turning the caster into the target.

Siege Monster. Tiamat deals double damage to objects and structures.

Trample. When Tiamat moves, she can enter a Colossal or smaller creature’s space. The first time she enters a creature’s space, she can make a Claw attack on that creature.
