Homebrew Drakkon Species Details
In the first century of the Age of Awakening, the Thötunn-Damúl wanted to ensure that their new drake servants would not betray them, as the dragons had done to their predecessors long ago. To this end, they enlisted the aid of loyal human magi to ensure the drake’s obedience as they were bred. These magi mastered the arts of draconic magic, and soon were irrevocably altered by these energies. In the modern world, the decedents of these magi are the Drakkon; drake-tamers and users of inborn draconic magic.
Drakkon are bipedal like the other mortal races, but have heads, scales, claws, teeth, wings, and tails of dragons. Their scales range in colors dramatically, but most commonly are grey, red, brown, or green. Unlike most other mortal races, drakkon exhibit no sexual dysmorphism, with males almost indistinguishable from females.
