Actions

Multiattack. The liondrake makes one Bite attack and two Claw attacks.
Bite. Melee Weapon Attack +7 to hit, reach 5 ft, one target. Hit 14 2d10+4 piercing damage. If the target is a Medium or smaller creature, it must succeed on a DC 15 Strength saving throw or knocked prone.
Claw. Melee Weapon Attack +7 to hit, reach 5 ft, one target. Hit 11 2d6+4 slashing damage.
Blood-Chilling Roar (Recharge 4-6). The liondrake lets out a terrifying roar audible out to 300 feet. Any creature within 30 feet of the liondrake that can hear it's roar must succeed on a DC 14 Wisdom saving throw or be frightened of the liondrake for 1 minute. A creature that fails the save by 5 or more is also paralysed for the same duration. A creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of its turn, ending the effect on itself on a success. If a target's saving throw is successful or the effect ends for it, a target is immune to this liondrake's Blood-Chilling Roar for the next 24 hours.

A liondrake is a solitary and territorial predator, with the wings & neck of a brass dragon, and the rest of it's body that of a lion. The males also have a mane similar to male lions. Sometimes known as dragonnes, liondrakes rely on their ferocity and their frightful roar to overcome prey & frighten off rivals. They are voracious hunters that range across well-established territories. They typically don't seek out people as prey, but hose people who encroach into liondrake territory are fair game - which feeds the creature's reputation as hungering for Humanoid flesh.
