Black Scales. The black drake has resistance to fire damage and advantage on saving throws against being frightened.   Molten Presence (Level 17+): The drake emits an aura of heat and menace. Creatures that start their turn within 5 feet of the drake take 2 fire damage and must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw (DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier) or have disadvantage on attack rolls against creatures other than the drake until the end of their next turn.

Actions

Multiattack (Level 11+): The black drake makes one bite and one claw attack.   Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: your spell attack modifier to hit, reach 5 ft., one target.Hit: 2d10 + your Wisdom modifier piercing damage.   Claw. Melee Weapon Attack: your spell attack modifier to hit, reach 5 ft., one target.Hit: 2d6 + your Wisdom modifier slashing damage.   Draconic Breath (Recharge 5 turns): The black drake exhales fire in a 30-foot cone. Each creature in the area must make a Dexterity saving throw (DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier), taking 8d6 fire damage on a failed save, or half as much on a success.

Black drakes are fierce, winged terrors from the molten depths. Born of fire and shadow, they overwhelm their prey with a blend of flame and fury.
