Homebrew Fang Dragonborn Species Details
Similar to Fang Dragons, from whom they are descended, Fang Dragonborn are a rare sight. They sport scales of a mottled grey in color, with many boney plates, spurs, and spines that typically form around their face and limb joints. This, and their red and orange hued eyes, gives the fang dragonborn a fearsome, ferocious, and even demonic appearance.
It isn't uncommon for fang dragonborn to be prone to sudden, violent outbursts, though, not as often or as intense as fang dragons themselves. Much like a fang dragon, these dragonborn have an innate cunning, love of the hunt and the consuming of flesh, and are capable of great savagery.
