"Trogdor was a man! I mean, he was a dragon-man! Or... maybe he was just a dragon. ... And the Trogdor comes in the night!" -The Brothers Chaps, "Trogdor". 2003.

Draconians are the mythical half-dragon inhabitants of the Realm of Zot. Each draconian has a colour, and some have occupations as well; the different colors determine their draconian breath attacks and resistances, while the occupations determine their equipment, skills, and spells. Fortunately, they are all cold-blooded creatures and will be slowed by weapons of freezing (unless cold resistant).

Draconian Colours & Breath Attacks

A scale-covered humanoid with a reptilian tail and small wings.

d Draconian- Immature draconians with no breath attack. If you see one, it's probably a shapeshifter in disguise.

d Black draconian- Flight-capable draconians that breathe highly-damaging bursts of electricity.

d Green draconian- Poisonous draconians that have stinger tails and can breathe clouds of poison.

d Grey draconian- These draconians lack breath weapons but have more AC, hit harder, and cannot drown.

d Mottled draconian- Draconians that spit gouts of Sticky Flame, setting their foes ablaze.

d Pale draconian- Draconians that breathe jets of steam, which don't do much damage but block line of sight.

d Purple draconian- Magic-themed draconians that are quite resistant to enchantments and breathe blasts of irresistible, buff-removing energy.

d Red draconian- Fiery draconians that spew blasts of fire that leave behind clouds of flames.

d White draconian- Frosty draconians with AC-ignoring cold breath. Their icy nature negates the side-effects of their cold-blooded physiology.

d Yellow draconian- Draconians that will melt your equipment with their acid breath.

Draconian Occupations

q Draconian annihilator- Conjurations masters capable of causing devastation at range.

q Draconian caller- Obnoxious summoners who call up hordes of drakes and dragons.

q Draconian monk- These Unarmed Combat specialists strike quickly and hard in melee.

q Draconian scorcher- Pyromaniac casters with access to both fire and hellfire.

Unique draconian

d Tiamat- Found only in the Realm of Zot, Tiamat is a brutally powerful opponent. She changes her colour randomly and wears the powerful dragonskin cloak, giving her a wide range of resistances. She always travels with a large entourage of lesser draconians.
