Homebrew Anthro Dragon Species Details

 

"A mad wizard once tried to make an übermensch by breeding different races and types of dragon children, until they were every type and race at the same time. This, however, failed, as the different alignments within them drove them to suicide." - The elder dragon child

 

Physical Description

A dragonborn dragon child is the child of a dragon father and a dragonborn mother or a child of two other dragon children. This is the main difference between a Dragonborn Dragon child and an Anthro dragon, as an anthro dragon has a dragon child father and dragon mother. Although, they are both called anthro dragons. A dragon child looks like a mix between his dragon father and humanoid mother. They have the same humanoid build and looks as their mother. They, however, also have a tail (+- 4 feet) and a pair of claws. Additionally, they have scales in the color of their dragon parent, which mix along with the scales of their mother, strengthening them. Some anthro dragons also have large, leathery, dragon wings. They also have dragon eyes, using their horizontal and vertical slits to have some of the best vision of all humanoids. Some may even grow a pair of small horns.

Some like eating the food a normal Dragon eats, but most prefer the food of their humanoid nature.

Dragon children of two other dragon children are a mix of the two types most of the time. They can be vulnerable to mood swings, as they may have two clashing alignments. The ones that do survive this heritage, however, are gorgeous. Only anthro dragons may survive more than two types of elemental power in them, turning them into prismatic (anthro) dragons.

Dragon Flaws

Every type of dragon has its own specific flaw(s), which you inherited.

Dragon	Flaw
Black	I love to make my enemies suffer before I kill them. Causing pain is a sheer joy.
Blue	I’m very vain and will react with rage to any insinuation that I’m weak or inferior.
Brass	I will serve anyone that is willing to pay well, even if it’s an evil being.
Bronze	I will make sure everyone governs the law and nobody will stop me!
Copper	My jokes are the best, so you should laugh with every joke I tell. If you don’t, you may be in for a bad time.
Gold	I will do anything for the greater goods, but those are, most of the time, not the needs of the “lesser creatures”. You could probably say I’m arrogant.
Green	I lie as easy as others speak and prefer to achieve my goals through guile and double-dealing.
Red	I will never forgive even the smallest things. Even if you “only” insulted me, there will be consequences.
Silver	Honor means everything and I will never break my word, even if this places me in opposition against creatures of my own alignment.
White	I’m remarkably bestial and rely more on instinct then intellect.

History

Dragon children have existed for as long as there are humanoids. One of a dragon’s strongest instincts is to mate with another dragon. If they can’t find one, however, they may conceive a humanoid, Bribing them for promises of riches or protection, or sometimes those how are foolish enough to want to be a dragon mother.

Anthro dragons are the only dragon child race that not only survive more than a year, But has the same amount of metallic as chromatic ones because dragonborn are immune to the disastrous effects of dragon sperm. When the incubation period starts, the womb of the mother will start accommodating for this egg (following the incubation rules of the Draconomicon). The total incubation time is 300 days (+- 10 months). The egg will only be laid in the last month of the incubation. This incubation takes up so much power, that almost all non-draconic mothers die when the egg gets laid.

Society

Most dragon children live in one of two societies:

A large number of dragon children live in villages around a chromatic dragon lair. These villages were first those of dragonborn or other humanoids, until a dragon needed to extinguish its great lust by conceiving all female humanoids in the town. These villages start to flourish once the dragon dies, as the dragon children share the loot of the dragon alongside each other. Some use it to study magic, while others start making delicate armor pieces. Other races also start coming to this concentration of craftsmanship. This often ends with this once small village turning into a metropolitan city, with the eldest of dragon children as ruler.

The rest of these dragon children grow up in “normal” villages, alongside “normal” humanoids. They are mostly frowned upon but can get paid well to send messages between faraway places, as they fly faster and are a safer bet than birds.

Naturally Charming

Most Anthro Dragons have the ability to be naturally seductive to creatures of there choice, Using this trait They get a +3 to any roll to seduce a creature of there choice.
Most Anthro dragons can not produce offspring but those who can will produce more anthro dragons

Anthro Dragon Names
