The challenge rating of a legendary emerald dragon increases by 1 when it's encountered in its lair.

  • Beguiling Whisper.
  • Distort Perceptions.
  • Vanish.

Other Lore

 Forgotten Realms Wiki  [4] 
Emerald dragons were reclusive dragons with a lawful bent. They are inquisitive about history, but also paranoid and distrustful of visitors, whom they deter by setting traps in and by their lairs, and with their breath weapon, a powerful blast of wind. They had scales in many shades of green, with a scintillating appearance that makes the dragon seem to be in constant motion.
