Traits
Chromatic Form
When created, the animated breath takes one of five forms, matching its creator's breath weapon: Acid, Cold, Fire, Lightning, or Poison. This form determines the creature's AC, damage resistance, traits, and attacks.
Fire Aura (Fire Form Only)
At the start of each of the animated breath's turns, each creature within 5 feet of it takes 3 (1d6) fire damage, and flammable objects in the aura that aren't being worn or carried ignite. A creature that touches the animated breath or hits it with a melee attack takes 3 (1d6) fire damage.
Putrid Aura (Acid and Poison Forms Only)
A creature that starts its turn within 5 feet of the animated breath must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or be poisoned until the start of its next turn. A creature that touches the animated breath or hits it with a melee attack takes 3 (1d6) acid damage.
