Homebrew Draconian Species Details
Draconians are the creatures birthed by unholy rituals performed on metallic dragon eggs. A Draconian is born with a full-fledged adult body but infantile intelligence for the first year or so of life. It is typically raised by the group or individual who performed the ritual on the egg, often with dark intent. The corruption of life in this way is always evil, but does not always beget an evil being.
