Dragonborn

Dragonborn are a race of draconic humanoids. They are mostly found residing in the deserts of Croyora.

Basic Information

Anatomy

Dragonborn resemble in many ways what their name suggests: humanoid dragons. Standing at an average height of 6 and a half feet, dragonborn are impressively tall with a heavy weight to match, commonly possessing a weight of 100 to 150 kilogrammes. Dragonborn feet end with three strong talon-like claws with a fourth claw in the back, while their hands are similar with three claws and a thumb replacing the rear claw. A dragonborn's head features a blunt snout, a strong brow, and reptilian frills on the cheeks and ears. On the back of the head, a crest of hornlike scales form what resembles a mess of ropy hair. Dragonborn eyes take on the hue of their elemental breath.
Dragonborn exhibit many draconic features, including a tough, scaly hide, a large, muscular body, the capacity to use a breath weapon, and resistance to the same elemental energy they can breathe, thanks to their draconic heritage. Because of thousands of years of interbreeding, the scales of a dragonborn's hide are usually scarlet, gold, rust, ochre, bronze, or brown in hue, though a few dragonborn with a stronger draconic heritage have scales resembling those of true dragons, but white scaled dragonborn were said to be rare. The scales are typically in their greatest concentration around forearms, lower legs, feet, shoulders, and thighs, with a very fine leathery covering over the rest of the body.
