Around this age they start growing a tail (+- 4 feet) and a pair of claws. Most dragon children start to notice they are different around the age of 3. This incubation takes up so much power, that almost all non-draconic mothers die when the egg gets laid. The egg will only be laid in the last month of the incubation. The total incubation time is 300 days (+- 10 months). When the incubation period starts, the womb of the mother will start accommodating for this egg (following the incubation rules of the Draconomicon).

Luckily, these scales will also grow in the womb, creating a safe space for the egg, as every dragon child gets born out of an egg. The sperm of a dragon also has another side-effect: Where the sperm came in contact with the flesh of the mother, scales will start to grow. Conversely, a chromatic dragon may want to make a full race of dragon children to serve under him, and has no qualms about harming humanoids in doing so. Metallic dragons will only reproduce with humanoids if a humanoid specifically asks for it, knowing they may die by doing this. This is also the reason why there are so few metallic dragon children, because metallic dragons will never harm a humanoid on purpose.

Every creature with draconic blood in them is immune to this effect, as they, too, are infused with this magic. As you can expect, only the strongest of humanoids survive this. It literally burns its way through the vagina into the womb of the mother. However, the sperm of a dragon is highly volatile, as it’s infused with elemental magic.

A dragon child only gets born if its father was in a dragon form while the conception took place. A dragon child always has the same race of its mother.Īlthough, creating a dragon child isn’t without sacrifice. A dragon child is the child of a dragon father and a humanoid mother or a child of two other dragon children. This subrace allows the crossbreeding of races without the use of dedicated halfbreed races.
