    Brainstealer dragons are powerful aberrations created when a mind flayer tadpole is inserted into the brain of a captured dragon. They possess incredible power, intellect and an insatiable hunger for brains.

    Ancient, Adult, and Young brainstealer dragons are described along with a Wyrmling. They vary in size, stats, and abilities based on their age and power.

    Brainstealer dragons have innate spellcasting, magic resistance, blindsight, telepathy, and can use abilities like tentacle attacks, claws, tails, brain extraction, frightful presence, and mind blast.

    A

    brainstealer dragon is created when a mind

    Brainstealer flayer tadpole is inserted into the brain of a


    captured dragon, through a process called

    Dragons ceremorphosis. Ceremorphosis usually fails on


    non-humanoid hosts, meaning brainstealer
    dragon's are very rare. However, when the
    process is successful the monster created is a
    deadly combination- incredible power and intellect... with an
    insatiable hunger for brains.
