Monster: Night Dragon
Night dragons belong to a breed of creatures known as landragons. Of some relation to true dragons, landragons also separate into distinct breeds and gain great power and size as they age. They use the same age categories as true dragons. Landragons are bulkier than true dragons, with shorter, thicker tails. They lack the ability to fly and are generally less intelligent than most true dragons (the stats seem to disagree though). Landragons do not cast spells. This is the last dragon from my old conversion notes. Good riddance.

Front Claw (14): thrust 3d-1 cutting or impaling, Reach C-2.
Hind Claw (12): thrust 3d cutting or impaling, Reach C-2.
Tail (12): thrust 3d crushing, Reach C-3.
Breathe Light (14): The dragon breathes out a stream of searing light, dealing thrust 2d non-incendiary burning damage as large-area injury. Targets injured by this attack must make an HT roll, at -1 per 2 points of injury, or be blinded for (20-HT) minutes (minimum 1 minute). This is a cone attack that uses rules from Area and Spreading Attacks (pp. B413-414). The cone is 1-yard wide and has a length of 5 yards (ST/5). Each use costs 2 FP. It is possible to make the cone wider by using the rules from Cones of Power (GURPS Dungeon Fantasy Monsters 4: Dragons, p. 10).
Blend into Shadows: In any condition of illumination that imposes a -5 penalty to Vision or worse, the night dragon can disappear into the shadows, becoming invisible. This gives him a +9 bonus to Stealth in any situation where being seen would matter. Invisibility only works against electromagnetic vision (which encompasses ordinary vision, Infravision, Ultravision, and radar). The night dragon does not cast a shadow and doesn’t show up in mirrors. Each minute of use costs 1 FP.
This effect ends if the dragon attacks any creature. For purposes of this spell, an attack includes any spell targeting a foe or whose area or effect includes a foe. Exactly who is a foe depends on the invisible character's perceptions. Actions directed at unattended objects do not break the spell. Causing harm indirectly is not an attack. Thus, an invisible being can open doors, talk, eat, climb stairs, summon monsters and have them attack, cut the ropes holding a rope bridge while enemies are on the bridge, remotely trigger traps, open a portcullis to release attack dogs, and so forth. If the dragon attacks directly, however, he immediately becomes visible.
