***Multiattack***. The dragon makes three attacks: one with its bite and two with its claws.

***Claw***. *Melee Weapon Attack:* +10 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. *Hit:* 13 (2d6+6) slashing damage.

***Breath Weapons (Recharge 5-6)***. The dragon uses one of the following breath weapons.

**Cold Breath**. The dragon exhales an icy blast in a 30- foot cone. Each creature in that area must make a DC 17 Constitution saving throw, taking 54 (12d8) cold damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

**Paralyzing Breath**. The dragon exhales paralyzing gas in a 30-foot cone. Each creature in that area must succeed on a DC 17 Constitution saving throw or be paralyzed for 1 minute. A creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.
