Half-Dragon Species in Instauro | World Anvil

Half-Dragon

Physical Description

At a distance, half-dragons are often confused with a human or elf, but as the viewer draws closer the differences become wildly apparent. Scales run along their cheeks, neck, up and down their arms and legs, and back. Some may have small horns on their heads, while others may posses a tail that reaches down towards their ankles; few may have both. Slitted eyes and forward-facing, pointed ears complete their draconic appearance.  

History

In some cultures, half-dragons have been seen as creatures blessed by the gods, while in others they’re treated as abominations of natural law. Because of this, they may be surprised by the positive or negative attitude towards them when entering a new town. Half-dragons are incapable of having natural born offspring, leading to the race being incredibly rare in nearly all regions of the world.   Throughout history, half-dragons become trusted sages sought far and wide for their extensive knowledge, while others may become vicious mercenaries feared throughout the countryside. Though many become wanderers searching for many different things,most often their draconic parent, an adventuring life comes as the next logical step to finding what they're looking for.
