— The first King to see a half-Dragonborn 

 

Born of dragons and humans, as their name proclaims, Half dragonborn walk through a world that treats them with fearful incomprehension. Shaped by draconic gods or the dragons themselves, half dragonborn can be hatched from dragon eggs as a sinful race, however, they can also be born by humans combining the best attributes of dragons and humans. 

The Life of an Outcast

A half dragonborn's form is clearly something not human, yet also something not dragonborn. They have glowing eyes. Their teeth and nails are sharper than those of a human, but nowhere near as sharp as those of a dragonborn. Their scales are the color associated with their ancestors. However, they only bear scales around their spine, shoulders, upper arms and upper legs. They can even have horns and a tail. They are broader and heavier than humans. Dragonborn view them as weak, pathetic, and want nothing to do with them except laugh at their puny form.Some are even jealous about their tails. Elder dragonborn may even see them as a disgrace to their kind. They treat them as if they do not exist. Humans, on the other hand, fear them and the powers their touch holds. Many lock their doors as they walk by or cower in fear as they approach them. They live the life of an outcast.
