Basic Information

Anatomy

Dragonborn are reptilian humanoids with a mane of horse-like hair that is normally braided into thick dreadlocks, resembling a cross between bipedal crocodiles and normal sized dragons on two legs.

Genetics and Reproduction

Dragonborns, much like kobolds, mate with each other to fertilize eggs that are laid by the females in clutches of 2-5. Unlike kobolds, however, Dragonborns tend to take care of their young rather than abandoning them, as their eggs tend to take around a year to hatch.

Growth Rate & Stages

Dragonborn hit their full height at the age of 18, when they are considered fully grown. Dragonborn reach middle age at 75, hit old age around age 115, and become venerable around their 150th birthday, after which they die shortly afterwards.

Ecology and Habitats

Dragonborn can adapt and be found in most any habitat or locale.

Dietary Needs and Habits

Dragonborns are omnivores, but prefer meat-based diets and consider raw eggs a delicacy.

Biological Cycle

As they age, their scales begin to blend their colors as their hair begins to turn whiter and whiter the older they get.

Additional Information

Average Intelligence

Dragonborn are slightly smarter than the average human, echoes of their Draconic Ancestry.

Perception and Sensory Capabilities

Dragonborn possess both a highly developed sense of smell as well as eyes that have adapted to see extremely well in conditions of low light and dark vision.
