Legendary Resistance (3/Day). If the dragon fails a saving throw, it can choose to succeed instead.
Multiattack. The dragon makes three attacks: one with its bite and two with its claws.
Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +14 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 19 (2d10+8) piercing damage plus 9 (2d8) fire damage.
Claw. Melee Weapon Attack: +14 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 15 (2d6+8) slashing damage.
Fire Breath (Recharge 5-6). The dragon exhales fire in a 60-foot cone. Each creature there takes 66 (12d10) fire damage on a failed DC 21 Dexterity save, or half as much on a success.
How hard a fight? Against a party of four, a single gold dragon is deadly at levels 1–12, hard at levels 13–15, medium at levels 16–18 and easy at levels 19–20. Add allies or more foes in the encounter generator.
Where you'll find it: hills.
