Homebrew Anthro Dragon Species Details
An Anthro Dragon is a humanoid looking dragon born of strong magic. They are created when a dragon egg is exposed to intense magic before hatching. They are born with a more humanoid body and a great ineptitude for magic. They usually end up being rejected by both dragon society and societies of humanoids. They go out into the wilderness and live the life of hermits with very little interaction with any other living creatures. When seeing humanoids, an Anthro Dragon will sometimes get curious and use magic to help go in for a closer look, longing for some social interaction, while still doing its best to stay hidden. If corned, many Anthro Dragons would rather run than fight, but if it is the only choice, they will fight back with the ferocity of a true dragon.
Alternatively, when humanoids wish to gain the abilities and powers of dragons, they with perform a forbidden ritual which will turn them into an Anthro Dragon. Or humans may be turned into an Anthro Dragon thru a strong curse or other magical means.
Anthro Dragon Traits
An Anthro Dragon is a humanoid looking dragon born of strong magic.Blindsight
A monster with blindsight can perceive its surroundings without relying on sight, within a specific radius.
Creatures without eyes, such as grimlocks and gray oozes, typically have this special sense, as do creatures with echolocation or heightened senses, such as bats and true dragons.
If a monster is naturally blind, it has a parenthetical note to this effect, indicating that the radius of its blindsight defines the maximum range of its perception.
Darkvision
A monster with darkvision can see in the dark within a specific radius. The monster can see in dim light within the radius as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. The monster can't discern color in darkness, only shades of gray. Many creatures that live underground have this special sense.
