Homebrew Drakon Species Details
Drakon are towering reptilian people similar to lizardfolk on a superficial level. They stand generally between 8 and 9 feet tall, with elongated arms and long, broad necks. Their skin is thick and scaly, and may seem to hang in excess folds in some areas, which deceptively hides their powerful frame. The jaws of a drakon are incredibly powerful and lined with perfectly sharp almost crocodilian teeth. Drakon possess wide neck-frills like that of an agama lizard, able to be retracted to lie flat against their neck or snapped out as a display at a moment's notice. Additionally, some drakon have soft spines or quills along their neck, back, and tail that closely mimic the behavior and appearance of feathers. Coloration of frills and feather-quills are varied, but drakon skin tends to be a muted greyish, green, or brown tone.
