Homebrew Axolotl Dragonborn Species Details
These axolotl dragonborn didn't always exist. Some say they are descendants of dragonborn affected by fey forces. Now they tend to live in lakes and towns in several planes of existence, having arrived by mysterious forces. They get odd looks going into towns, it's not every day you see an axolotl humanoid.
Axolotl humanoids rarely act cocky or brag. They believe others are equal to them, if not higher, and often do their best to make others feel the same way. They are therefore very wholesome people. It is unknown if they were just made this way or meandering through life has gotten them to this amicable worldview. This is not to say they are sycophants, as axolotls will usually not treat a bad person as well as one they perceive being good.
While rare, these axolotl's can turn towards an evil way of life. This can be a result of how they've been treated by others, who gave them their current life, etc.
Since axolotls didn't have names before they became humanoid, they named themselves after things around them, occasionally taking the names of other humanoids. They can make their own names too.
