Homebrew Draigon Species Details

 

 

Slender and Proud

Being a half breed race between an elf and a Dragon due to magical means or a Dragonborn due to biological means tend to have a slim figure compared to their much heftier dragon brethren. They all however share a sense of pride in their abilities and pride in most of their allies, because of this they will normally call an ally out on their misdeeds or failures when achieving an important task. Though this may seem like an insult to most of the races they actually do so to better help their allies in what they lack yet fail to see their own failures as it is rare member of the Draigons to see anything but perfection in themselves.

They have natural scales that run through their body yet, they also have exposed skin such as areas of the face to reveal there more elvish features yet while exposed still are as tough as normal scales when they feel a sense of danger nearby. Their scales range from                                                                                                                                                                                         —bright red, green, blue, or white, lustrous black, or gleaming metallic gold, silver, brass, copper, or bronze.

Clans

Due to the nature of their existence, and the rarity of such events ever happening. Draigon live with other Dragonborn in small isolated Clans deep within caves usually consisting of 30 or so members with 1/10th of the members actually being a Draigon.

Alternatively Draigon can also live with their brood mother,  where they are kept as servants to protect the brood mother and her eggs from any sort of danger that may come to her while she is delivering. Though not considered a part of the "family" due to their Elvish nature, the Brood mother does teach the Draigon about the world until they reach maturity.

DRAIGONIANS

Legends tell of an Elf Rogue who wanted all the Riches the world could offer him, upon coming across a cave deep within the mountains of a human kingdom, he saw a treasures that no one could describe simply with words, his greed got the better of him and as he entered to steal all that he could the cave entrance would crumble and he would be stuck with a large sleeping dragon that laid dormant for years, due to the collapse it had awoken. Angry at what the Elf attempted to due to its treasure was about to devour the Elf. Yet the Elvish man was quick witted and would persuade the dragon on reasons he should live. The dragon amused by the Elfs charismatic attitude in the face of danger humored him. Little was known what happened during the Elfs stay with the dragon, all that was known was that as the years passed only a Draigonian left the Cave and the rest from then on was a mystery.
