Homebrew Toy Dragon Species Details
Toy Dragons are rare among dragons. From the hatching of the egg, parents easily recognize the underdevelopment of these stunted dragons, and consequently parents often abandon these offspring if they don't kill them on sight. These dragons are born with a grasp of the world and its own identity which can be a cause for superiority and arrogance, one that may continue even after the realization of its own shortcomings as a dragon. Although they will not grow much more than their original size at birth, that does not mean that their power will remain stagnant. This is not to say that they will become as powerful as fully developed dragons, but they can be a force to be reckoned with proper training. At birth, many of these toy dragons may be unable to hunt on their own and will depend on the generosity of one from another race to aid it in hunting. As a result of these upbringings, occasionally some toy dragons may be more sociable with other races as a result of their repeated dependance of them from an early age. On rare occasion, some may even live amongst other races, typically after becoming too dependent on them, although they will never admit this as the case.

Age
Toy dragons, much like normal dragons, can expect to see a score of centuries in their lifetime provided they are able to protect themselves. They often do not live this long, however, because they are hunted by other creatures. Most toy dragons can expect to live a century at a time in one location safely, or else they risk word of their presence spreading to dragons or strong adventurers who may wish to slay them.
Alignment
Toy dragons tend to extremes, with chromatic toy dragons taking on their ancestor’s cruelty and malice, while metallic toy dragons follow ideals of benevolence and justice.
Size
Toy Dragons tend to be on all fours, and are about as large as a bigger dog. Toy dragons stand about 3-4 feet and weigh 80-120 pounds. Your size is Small.
Speeds
Your base walking speed is 25 feet and your base flying speed is 40 feet.
Darkvision
You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were a bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can't discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.
Draconic Armor
You have tough, scaly skin. When you aren’t wearing armor, your AC is 13 + your Dexterity modifier. You can use your natural armor to determine your AC if the armor you wear would leave you with a lower AC. A shield’s benefits apply as normal while you use your natural armor.
Draconic Ancestry
In the same manner as true dragons, toy dragons are divided into a number of different colors. These colors fall into two categories, the chromatics — black, blue, green, red, and white — and the metallics — brass, bronze, copper, gold, and silver.
Draconic Resilience
Your draconic ancestry gives you resistance to a type of damage defined in the draconic ancestry section.
Languages
You can speak, read, and write Common and Draconic. Draconic is thought to be one of the oldest languages and is often used in the study of magic. The
language sounds harsh to most other creatures and includes numerous hard consonants and sibilants.

Breath Weapon
You can use your bonus action to exhale destructive energy. Your draconic ancestry determines the size, shape, and damage type of the exhalation. When you use your breath weapon, each creature in the area of the exhalation must make a saving throw, the type of which is determined by your draconic ancestry. The DC for this saving throw equals 8 + your Constitution modifier + your proficiency bonus. A creature takes 2d6 damage on a failed save, and half as much damage on a successful one. The damage increases to 3d6 at 6th level, 4d6 at 11th level, and 5d6 at 16th level. After you use your breath weapon, you can’t use it again until you complete a short or long rest.
