Dragonborn

Not to be confused with the kobolds, lizardfolk, or half-dragons, the Dragonborn are a race of human-sized, wingless, bipedal dragons. They often have a small brush of hair that decorates the top of their head. This hair can come in the forms of bristly hair, feathers, or sometimes fish-like fins.  
Exiled and Alone
Dragonborn, like ashkaavir, tieflings, and half-orcs, are oppressed in society and seen as natural criminals. Their acts of elemental breath are considered dangerous and frightening by citizens and guard, and dragonborn often experience discriminatory actions, such as being denied entry to a store, people hiding their children from them, and being held for questioning.

Basic Information

Anatomy

Dragonborn are a lot bigger than their other bipedal brothers, and as such hold more muscle mass and weight. Dragonborn are also capable of elemental breath, something only their cousins the half-dragons can do.

Ecology and Habitats

Most dragonborn live in the mountains where they were supposedly created by Tahnamut. Some, however, live in the Magnun cities, despite their dragon brethren still discriminating against them as their fellow citizens do.

Dietary Needs and Habits

Dragonborn are carnivorous, due to their evolutionary process in the mountains.

Additional Information

Geographic Origin and Distribution

Most dragonborns live in Petriterra, but some live in the Majavo Grasslands and the Ivajo Desert.

Average Intelligence

Despite the primitive image placed on them by other races, dragonborns are quite intelligent like the similar but unrelated lizardfolk.

Naming Traditions
