Homebrew Dragoncursed (Aqua) Species Details
Visakapar sat in the icy waters, bottle in hand, and stared at his legs.
He hated them. How slow and ungainly they were compared to soaring through the deep oceans. How heavy and clumsy. He resented having to sit and rest. He despised the pain in his soles when he walked too long. Don't let him get starting on having to wear shoes.
He was drunk. He marveled at how weak humans were; how easily intoxicated. He was particularly disgusted with how much they enjoyed their pathetic resistance to the slightest poison. So desperate and meek that they enjoyed it. Roiling in self-hatred for how frequently he turned to that weakness to escape from his living hell. Cursed to walk with these disgusting legs.
Cursed to walk among mortals, Aqua dragoncursed were once powerful, serpentine dragons that lived in deep-sea coral palaces. Cursed by draconic gods or the dragons themselves, dragon cursed are magically confined to a humanoid body and cursed to live out their long draconic existence trapped there. Some dragon cursed are faithful servants to true dragons, hopeful to be forgiven and regain their true form, while others rail against those that cast them out and spend their existence seeking revenge.
