This spell is a variation of:
 Starry Form

Notes

• This action is listed in the  Wild Shape container ability along with the normal wild shape forms.
• The level 10 upgrade makes the druid "hover" while in dragon form. This grants immunity to all surface effects and fall damage. The character still uses normal walking animations and does not visually appear to be hovering, however. This effect is equivalent to the surface immunity provided by Swarmkeeper's  Writhing Tide.
• This feature may be critical for a character maintaining certain spells like  Haste. Note that scripted cutscenes and conversations before combat automatically dismiss Wild Shape e.g. the conversations before the battle of raiding the Emerald Grove. This could seriously sabotage the fight once combat starts if the player is unaware.

Bugs

• After taking this action, characters receive both a Condition and a Passive with the same name "Starry Form: Dragon" yet they have different descriptions. This Starry Form only affects concentration saving throws and does not affect any Checks or other  Constitution saving throws despite the passive stating otherwise:

When you make Intelligence or Wisdom Checks or Constitution Saving Throws, you can replace rolls of 9 or lower with a 10.
