These solitary brutes are
oriental relatives to the dragon turtle,
with a
turtle's body, crested neck,
and head like a shen lung. They rule large
bodies of water and can
breathe either water || air. They can lift any
ship they come under or
ram as the largest warship.
Their ordinary attacks are with two claws which do 1-12 HP of damage each and a bite which inflicts 6-36 of damage.
Breath Weapon: They
can breathe a cone of steam 100' long by 50' wide at the base
up to <3> times a day;
this breath weapon does damage =equal= to the
current HP of the creature.
Spells: Lung wang
have the scaly command
power over 4-40 creatures *times* the age level of the dragon, but no water
fire.
They have no spells other
than those general to oriental dragons.
As rulers of the seas, lung
wang demand tribute from every passing <note at .gov forms, in the DMG?,
note on the Kara-Tur map?> ship.
Regular travellers may work
out an arrangement -- for example, so much treasure dumped overboard at
a given spot.
They have their own language.
