Homebrew Dracotaur Species Details
Dracotaurs are a race whose existence is rooted in the winding paths of dragons. They resemble the majestic centaurs, however, they spout the lower half of a drake, and may also have other draconic like features on their human half, such as horns and scales. Culturally, dracotaurs prefer to live in smaller groups or by themselves, spread out across the lands, and fending for themselves. They are generally not hostile, and are actually quite scholarly despite their circumstances. How dracotaurs came to be is a mystery, one that should be asked to one's bardic grandparent.
