A diabolic dragon is immune to the diabolic fire of other diabolic dragons, the fire from divine immolation, and similar effects.
Hellfire Breath (divine, fire, unholy) — The dragon unleashes a blast of infernal fire that deals 21d6 fire damage in a 60-foot cone (DC 42 Reflex save). The dragon can't use Hellfire Breath again for 1d4 rounds.
