Homebrew Draconic angel Species Details

Draconic Angels inherit their appearance mostly from their Angelic parent. At first glance, they appear to look just like humans, aside from the retractable wings they sport on their back. Upon closer inspection, however, most Draconic Angels will possess a thin sheen of dragon-like scales on parts of their skin. The scales are the same color as their skin, making them difficult to notice without intentionally looking for abnormalities, and they tend not to manifest on the face or upper-back. In rare cases, a Draconic Angel may have dragon-like eyes similar to their parent’s, a leathery patch of skin, or even a short stub of a tail growing from their lower back. Their wings, appearing to be made of feathers, are actually composed of small dragon scales, colored in the metallic sheens of their parents. Having inherited their appearances from their Angelic side, Draconic Angels retain their youthful or mid-aged appearances for the entirety of their lives, never growing visibly old.
