Homebrew Faerie Dragonborn Species Details

The Faerie Dragonborn origins are a mystery because there very few of them and not much is recorded on them. Some say the long ago Dragonborns end up wandering into the Feywild and when they returned, they are forever changed. Others say that Faerie Dragons poly-morph into and humanoid race and mate with other races. Whatever the origins are the Faerie Dragonborn are truly extraordinary race with more magic than might.

Fey Dragon Ancestry

Faerie Dragonborns are the opposites of the average Dragonborn. The Faerie Dragonborn are shorter and skinnier than their counterparts. Instead of a elemental breath weapon, they release a euphoric gas (from their mouth) that make their attackers go into bliss and become incapacitated giving them the chance to flee. If the euphoria breath fails the Faerie Dragonborn can make up the lack of might with their magic by simply vanishing on a whim or casting magic to trick their enemies and fleeing from their assailants. Instead of focusing on the extremes of Good and Evil the Faerie Dragonborn prefer to live a carefree life, enjoying every moments in every awaking hour. Also the Faerie Dragonborn are not raised in a clan in fact the moment their parents find a warm safe spot for their egg, they abandon it leaving their offspring to fend for themselves. Though once the Faerie Dragonborn is hatched it has an unique understanding of its situation and knowing how to survive. Over the years their intelligence increases giving them the concept of what they are and what they can do, but it only lasts until the age of 5 years were it has to learn new skills.

Colourful Aging

One unique thing about the faerie dragon is that through the years of its life their scales can change colour each colour bright and vibrant. when they hatch, they have a pale pink scales until the age of 5 they have red scales and over the years their colours change to a new colour. From red to yellow and green in middle age then shades of blue and violet by 50. Faerie Dragon can grow up to 80 years and their scales would have shifted to black scales.

Quirks

 One of the quirks of the Faerie Dragonborn is that they love either shinny objects or baked sweets or both. Much like the Faerie Dragon they are a mischief bunch and they will think of ways to get these items which most likely get them into trouble. The Faerie Dragonborn will try to obtain these items through playful magical means.
