Corrupted Wisteria Dragon
Huge Dragon, Any Non-Good AlignmentWhen floral dragons and other creatures are infected by the pleurossa, the infection slowly takes away their sense of self as they become one with the pleurossa. Common signs of infection in floral dragons are decaying petals, visible bones, broken wings, and hollow eye sockets. Mushrooms sprout where flowers should be on an infected dragon's back, skull, and tail.

Traits
Fey Ancestry. The dragon has Advantage on saving throws against being Charmed, and magic can't put the dragon to sleep.
Fungally Controlled. The corrupted dragon is part of the pleurossa fungus network. It is aware of everything other corrupted floral dragons and the mushroom dragon perceive at all times, and it carries out the desires of the pleurossa fungus.
Magic Resistance. The dragon has Advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.
