- **Elemental Resistance:** The graveyard dragon has resistance to the type of damage dealt by its breath weapon.
- **False Appearance:** While the graveyard dragon remains motionless, it is indistinguishable from a pile of dragon bones.
- **Reassemble Bones:** As a bonus action, the graveyard dragon can rearrange its bone structure to fit into a space as narrow as 1 foot wide without squeezing. It can use a bonus action to reassemble itself into its normal form. While in this compressed form, it can't make melee weapon attacks.
