Are there any dragons with gaze attacks? In particular, I'm interested in a patrifying gaze attack.

Are there any dragons with gaze attacks? In particular, I'm interested in a patrifying gaze attack. Like the Dracolisk (from the 1st.ed. MM2)? I don't know if it's been updated to 3rd.ed. - Probably not, since it's basically a Half Dragon (Black) Advanced Basilisk ...

Yes. A dragon with the patrifying gaze of a basilisk (or medusa).

IIRC, the rock wyrm (a lesser dragon from Silver Marches) has a gaze attack with its third eye, but the effect isn't petrification.

I can't think of a dragon with a petrifying gaze attack, with out the use of a magic item, maybe a spell, or a template.

Dracoliches have a paralysing gaze attack, though that is very easily circumvented...(freedom of movement).

It's a wonderful idea, though. Statistically, we'd have to go with half-dragon something. But it's still frightening.

Looks like I'll have to create one, then.

Sure, Wes. Given your history as the consummate monster-maker, I'd love to hear your comments. It'll take a bit, but I'll post it here when I'm done.
