The ichneumon is immune to a dragon’s Frightful Presence and has advantage on saving throws against the breath weapons of dragons.

Evasion.

If the ichneumon is subjected to an effect that allows it to make a Dexterity saving throw to take only half damage, the ichneumon instead takes no damage if it succeeds on the saving throw, and only half damage if it fails.

Keen Hearing and Smell.

The ichneumon has advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on hearing or smell.

Mud Armor.

If the ichneumon spends an hour applying mud to itself, it can increase its AC by 2 for 8 hours.
