A gaunt, swamp-dwelling dragon clad in thin, glossy black scales that darken and roughen with age until they blend into peat and shadow. It haunts marshes, rain-soaked jungle, and waterlogged caves, gliding low over the water at night and lurking submerged by day. Spiteful and instinctively sly rather than brilliant, it stalks travelers from cover, spitting a searing line of acid before closing with raking claws and a snapping bite. It swims as easily as it flies and breathes water freely. In a survival game it makes a regional apex predator whose hoard lies sunk at the bottom of a black, reeking pool.

Behavior

Ambushes from deep water or dense canopy, preferring surprise over open battle
Spits a straight stream of acid, then tears in with claws and a long-necked bite
Lurks half-submerged to hide its bulk and leave no tracks
Retreats to a deep bog or flooded cave when badly hurt
Hoards coins above all; older ones interrogate captives for word of buried wealth

Abilities

Acid Breath. A narrow jet of corrosive acid that burns everything along its path; halved if the target flinches clear.
Acid Immunity. Unharmed by acid and corrosion of any kind.
Aquatic. Breathes water from birth and swims swiftly through swamp and bog.
Ambush Predator. Strikes from concealment for crippling opening damage.
Innate Magic. Older specimens can foul water and rouse choking plant growth around the lair.
