I hope the weeping willow dragon is to your liking (along with all the other spooky monsters from this week), and I'll be back on Friday with another monster. As always, thanks for reading!
This draconic creature
has bark-like skin and leaves drooping down to the ground. It glares with cold
menace.

SPECIAL ABILITIES
Call to the Dead (Su)
An old or older weeping willow dragon can affect intelligent undead with
mind-affecting effects.
Gloom (Su) A very
young or older weeping willow dragon reduces the illumination level in a
30-foot radius by one step to a minimum of dim light (it does not affect areas
of dim light or darker). This darkness is treated as a 2nd-level spell for
purposes of overcoming it. An adult or older dragon reduces the illumination
level by up to two steps, increases the radius to 60 feet, and can reduce the
illumination level to darkness. Its darkness is treated as a 4th-level spell. A
wyrm or older dragon reduces the illumination level by up to three steps,
increases the radius to 90 feet, and can create an area of darkness similar to
that created by deeper darkness. Its darkness
is treated as a 7th-level spell.
Immune to Negative
Energy (Su) A weeping willow dragon takes no damage from negative energy.
It is also immune to ability drain and energy drain.
Living Graveyard (Su)
A great wyrm weeping willow dragon can bring the graveyard it calls home to
life. This acts as per the animate
objects spell, but it can choose different objects as a swift action at the
beginning of its turn.
Plant Traits (Ex)
In addition to dragon immunities, a weeping willow has plant immunities
(mind-affecting effects, poison, polymorph, and stunning).
