Description: Draconians are humanoid dragons, they are bipedal and their height varies per race. Draconians are created through the use of a mold that grows on a race of dwarves on the continent of Ansalon. The mold is put onto dragon eggs; three draconians come out per egg. The first eggs to have this done were bronze dragon eggs

Draconian Races:

Aurak Draconians:

Aurak Draconians come from the eggs of gold dragons and are the greatest and rarest of the draconians. They are typically mages and possess many magical abilities (more than a Bozak). They have gold scales and no wings, and are physically weak compared to other draconians.

These draconians become more lethal in death than they were in life. When an Aurak is killed, a series of events take place. Upon the first death, Auraks immediately come back to life and attack with frenzy. While losing all magical powers they previously had, they are still lethal in hand to hand combat. They also are engulfed in a magical green flame, which causes additional damage. After 6 rounds or if they are killed a second time, they transform into a ball of green lightning that can strike all targets within a 10 foot radius. They are immune to damage in this form. After 3 minutes, Auraks explode causing damage to anything within a 10 foot radius and also stunning those targets for a short amount of time.

Sivak Draconians:

Sivak Draconians come from the eggs of silver dragons and are the largest of all draconians. They are very cunning warriors and are also the only draconian that can truly fly, as they have large wings.

The males possess a shape-shifting ability which allows them to take the form of anything they kill (provided it's smaller than the Sivak). It grants voice imitation and appearance only. This typically allows Sivaks to be spies. When a Sivak is killed, one of two things can happen depending on the killer. If the killer is smaller than the Sivak, the Sivak will shape-shift into the form of its killer, which is sometimes referred to as the "Death Shape". It lasts for three days, after which the draconian's body dissolves into soot. If the killer is larger or not humanoid, however, the Sivak simply will burst into flames and cause damage to anything in a 10 foot radius.

The females do not possess the ability to shapeshift, however they can blend in to the background. They do not disappear but rather start looking like whatever is there (e. g. if a female sivak stands in the middle of a bunch of trees, she will look like just another tree)

Bozak Draconians:

Bozak Draconians come from the eggs of bronze dragons, their wings the typical small draconian shape which allows them to glide but not fly. They are skilled magic users and are typically evil clerics. They take pride in knowing a variety of spells. When a Bozak is killed, its scales shrivel and its bones are revealed. The next round, the bones explode causing damage to anything in a 10 foot radius.

Kapak Draconians:

Kapak Draconians come from the eggs of copper dragons, and have wings that they can use to glide. The males make make good assassins and thieves. The can also coat their weapons with a form of poison (the saliva in their mouths), which paralyzes and kills a victim.

The females saliva is not poisonous but a healing substance, which makes them good medics.

When a Kapak is killed, it immediately dissolves into a 10 foot pool of acid and all equipment it carried becomes useless. This pool will eventually evaporate

Baaz:

Baaz Draconians come from the eggs of brass dragons and are the smallest and most common type of draconian, they have normal draconian wings allowling them to glide. Baaz typically serve as soldiers. They do not possess any magical powers.

When a Baaz is killed, its body turns into stone. If the killer is using a melee weapon, he or she must react quickly before their weapon gets trapped in the stone body.
