Wouldnt cold damage instead of poison be more fitting? At least the breath attack, but i could see it fit well with the bite too.

I would agree with this for the breath attack, though I can see the bite being poison.

The reasoning the bite and breath attack are poison is due to a lore thing, I took this monster from 2nd edition and had it repurposed for 5e uses, I'll post the source in sec.

The attack bonus should be +6, and 2d10+3 = 14. I also get an overall CR of 6.5. I'd beef up the breath weapon a bit to make it up to 8. A young green dragon does 12d6, and it can fly!

What's its alignment?

I'll make those changes changes made, and its a beast so unaligned

Is the breath weapon damage increased enough or does it need more?
