Sometimes they instead use the structuresof previous Underdark residents, if the chambersand connecting hallways are elaborate enough fortheir taste—especially if these offer secure incubationspace. A purple dragon lays its eggs along with thecorpse of an unjustly slain creature that is likely torise as a wraith or other shadowy undead entity. Notonly does this spirit guard the eggs, but its necroticenergy somehow infuses the developing wyrmlings,touching them with a vestige of the Raven Queen’spower.DC 20: Purple wyrmlings possess only a fractionof their elders’ ability to manipulate other creatures.Even though a wyrmling can attempt to dominateonly once every few minutes, that moment of controlcan still ruin its victim.184CHAPTER 4 | New MonstersEMILY FIEGENSCHUH
