Draconian Corruption

You lay your hands upon a dragon egg containing a living embryo and invoke primal powers.  The chaotic energies you channel into the egg over the course of the casting time corrupt it, warping the draconic material within into unnatural forms. At the end of the casting, the dragon egg bursts as a number of draconians emerge. The number and type of draconians are determined by the type of dragon egg the spell is cast upon.

A newly hatched draconian uses the statistics of a lizard for the first 2d4 + 5 days of its life, at which point it gains the statistics of a kobold.  In both of these juvenile forms, the draconian is a monstrosity instead of the listed creature type for those stat blocks, and has the draconian's Death Throes trait.  After another 4d4 + 10 days, the draconian reaches maturity and gains its normal statistics.

Draconians you create with this spell are initially loyal to you and obey your, but are not under your control. Assign all draconians you create with this spell a quality score as a group (referred to as "your army"). See the rules on quality scores from the "Officers and Crew" section in Appendix A of the Ghosts of Saltmarsh and the loyalty rule from chapter 4 of the Dungeon Master’s Guide to track your army's loyalty.

If your have no draconian army when you cast the spell, the army started by its casting has an initial quality score of +4. Each time you cast the spell while any draconians remain in your army, add 4 to your army's quality score and divide the result by 2 to determine your army's new quality score.

Draconians created by this spell can breed, producing 1d4 + 1 eggs per clutch.  If different types of draconians interbreed, each offspring is randomly assigned one of its parents' types, with a 75% chance of being the weaker of the two draconian types.  Naturally produced draconian offspring are not instinctively loyal to the spellcaster that created their parent or ancestor, but neither are they immediately hostile towards them.  Naturally produced draconians mature at the same rate as dragonborn.
