I have a party of 5 players level 6. I was thinking of running this in the weak build (CR8) as a harder encounter but I think this will be too brutal. The reaction petrifying glance is still limited to one character within 30 ft per round but flying, breath weapon, gaze and effective melee attacks sounds very rough. Does anyone have any experience using these to say that the CR is not accurate? Thanks for any help.
