Homebrew Dragonoid Species Details

Dragonoids are a race of draconic humanoids that are a mutated form of dragonborns that present fewer dragon features and more humanoid features. Scales partially cover their bodies, presenting wings, claws, and a tail.

3 Subraces include :

1. HumanBred - Humanbred are the most common of the dragonoids, featuring a pair of wings, claws, paws and scales. They are very tough warriors, with dense scales and powerful legs and claws, they are serious opponents. Their wings are just big enough for them to still fly and give some extra stability from attacks that would normally knock a person off their feet.

They often are less serious than their racial counterparts, sometimes even behaving like kids. Their exact origins aren't clear, but there are cases of dragonlords giving birth to Jabberworks, reinforcing the theory that Jabberworks are a rare mutation of their dragon genes. Unlike other draognoids however, their wings aren't suited for flying.
