Special Abilities
Agile (Ex) Vortex dragons have good maneuverability when flying regardless of their age or size.
Alien Presence (Su) A Vortex dragon's alien presence bends space. A Creature that fails its Saving Throw treats all other creatures as if they were under the effects of Blur (or Displacement If the target has 4 or fewer Hit Dice) for 5d6 rounds.
Collapsing Breath (Su) Instead of a cone of fire, an ancient or older Vortex Dragon can suck a single target into its maw. If the target fails its Reflex save (DC equal to breath weapon), it is swallowed whole and takes 6d6 points of bludgeoning Damage per round. A Creature can cut itself out by dealing 30 points of Damage with a light or one-handed piercing or slashing weapon. A Vortex dragon's interior has an AC of 26.
Fragmented Strike (Su) An adult or older Vortex Dragon can strike with its bite through a rift in space. This allows it to make its bite attack against a target anywhere within the radius of its alien presence as long as the Dragon can see the Creature. This doesn't apply to Attacks of Opportunity.
Galactic Emissary (Su) A young or older Vortex Dragon halves the time of any starflight journey. In addition, it's immune to any effect that bars extradimensional travel.
