Homebrew Drakonbeing Species Details
Ignea felt the change beginning, felt wings sprouting from her back and horns growing from her head. Her tail sprouted, and Ignea stared at her new scales. Venus was right. She was a Drakonbeing.
Drakonbeing are proud to be descendants of ancient dragons.
Proud Dragon Kin
Drakonbeing look very much like dragons when they are in their Draconic form, except for a few minor details, like all Drakonbeing have pointed tails much like Infernals do. When they are in their Half-Dragon form, they resemble Infernals, but with different colored scales and skin. In humanoid form, they look very much like humans, but they have horn, tail, and wing nubs and Draconic eyes. Many Drakonbeing have scales of vibrant hues matching the colors of their dragon kin, but generations of interbreeding have created a more uniform appearance. Their small, fine scales are usually dull-ish shades of Dragon scales. They are tall and strongly built, often standing close to 6½ feet tall and weighing 300 pounds or more. Their hands and feet are strong, talonlike claws with three fingers and a thumb on each hand in Half-Change form.
