Homebrew Dragonewt Species Details

Dragonewts are a race of dragon-like humanoids, resembling Dragonborns and Half-Dragons. However, Dragonewts cannot kill enemies with breath weapons, because they don't have any. However, what Dragonewts do have are wings and the ability to fly. They see themselves as the superior race and are not often seen among other races. Dragonewts were created by Dragonborn sorcerers, and wizards as scouts and spies to be used in a slave army, but the strongest of them, known as the emperors, turned the enslaved Dragonewts against their masters, seeing themselves as the superiors for having wings and they left to the mountains and jungles, forming a new race. The wings were given to them for scouting purposes, by mixing some dragon's genes with enslaved Lizardfolk servants, creating the first Dragonewts, and emperors. Dragonewts live in clans, some of which are diplomatic in nature, and others warmongering slavers. The Dragonewts have a clear and working caste system, and the emperors are the highest and strongest of all. (Which is why they're not a race option for Dragonewts.)

Dragonewts are strong and dexterous, which is why they get increases in those ability scores. You get +2 to dexterity and +1 to strength, but also -1 to charisma.

Alignment

Dragonewts are rogue warriors of Dragonborn sorcerers and warlocks, and thus are seen as a chaotic race.

Dragonewts can speak a variety of languages, most commonly Common and Draconic, but they can learn an extra language just in case.

Darkvision

Dragonewts, like other draconic beings, can see very well in the dark.

Flight

Dragonewts were created with wings, and therefore have the ability to fly, which is why they don't walk so much. You have a 40ft. flying speed, but only 20ft. walking speed, and you cannot wear heavy armor while flying.
