2: Dragon Types
2.7 Dragonoids
Dragonoids are not true dragons, though they are closely related to dragons. They are a much smaller variety of dragon, and have a much weaker connection to elemental dragon magic; they lack a dragon’s characteristic breathweapon. They often share physical traits with the true dragons that they share their elemental connection with.
Their small size leads most dragonoids to target much smaller prey. Their specific diets and preferences vary between each species.
There are four types of dragonoids: mouse dragons, fae dragons, goatdragons, and drakes.
