This page is about the immature draconian monster. For a list of draconian monsters, see List of draconians. For the player species, see Draconian.

A bipedal reptilian creature slightly larger than a human. Draconians have fearsome dragonish heads, rudimentary wings, tails, and a covering of tough scales. In their mature form their scales take on a distinct colouring, and they acquire a destructive breath whose nature is signified by their colour. Whether draconians arose naturally, or are the product of twisted experimentation by mad wizards on the crossbreeding of dragons and humans, is a matter of much doubt.

Useful Info

Uncolored draconians are immature members of the draconian family. They lack any sort of breath weapon, and are generally no more threatening than any other generic humanoid monster. They are extremely rare, so much so that if you encounter one, it is almost certainly a shapeshifter.

Tips & Tricks

  • They're one of the stronger monsters based off of playable species, but like many other, similar creatures, they're only dangerous if they pick up dangerous equipment. Shapeshifters posing as draconians won't even do that.
