Any equipment it is wearing or carrying is absorbed or borne by the new form (the dragon\xe2\x80\x99s choice). In a new form, the dragon retains its alignment,  hp , Hit Dice, ability to speak, proficiencies, Legendary Resistance, lair  actions , and  Intelligence ,  Wisdom , and  Charisma  scores, as well as this action. Its statistics and capabilities are otherwise replaced by those of the new form, except any class features or legendary  actions  of that form.

If a creature\xe2\x80\x99s saving throw is successful or the effect ends for it, the creature is immune to the dragon\xe2\x80\x99s Mesmerizing Presence for the next 24 hours. \n'b'  Lightning Breath (Recharge 5-6) . The dragon exhales lightning in a 90-foot line that is 5 feet wide. Each creature in that line must make a DC 21  Dexterity  saving throw, taking 55 (10d10) lightning damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. \n'b'\n'b' LEGENDARY ACTIONS \n'b' The dragon can take 3 legendary  actions , choosing from the options below.

Its appearance is at once both serene and majestic. \n'b'  Dragons of the Spirit World . Imperial dragons are tied to the world of celestials, fiends, and spirits. They freely parley with such creatures for knowledge about the outer planes or the fundamental mysteries of the universe. Some of the most powerful imperial dragons even become the servants of the gods in exchange for wisdom, acting as intermediaries between the divine and mortal realms. \n'b'  Colorful and Magical . Imperial dragons are capable of changing their colors and forms. They are typically a rich, goldenyellow, but azure-, jade-, and vermillion?colored dragons are not unheard of, and even white and black imperial dragons have been reported. A magical organ in their skulls gives them the ability to fly without the aid of wings, and they are often hunted for this organ, which is rumored to grant eternal life if consumed. \n'b'  Masters of Wind and Rain . Imperial dragons are creatures of wind and water, and the eldest of their kind exhibit mastery of these elements. They love the seas where they make their homes and sometimes act as guardians for sacred sites or temples near or beneath the waves. This often puts them in conflict with militant aquatic races like the sahuagin and evil water-dwelling monsters like krakens and sea dragons (Tome of Beasts, p. 135).'
