Dragonborns

Dragonborn in Theros were born from the ancestry dragons altered by Pharika giving them what we typically see now being of different colors and with different breath weapons. All Dragonborn come from the Red and Blue even though they have different colors and scales. That said, the purity of the mixed blood of dragonborns shows in a variety of ways.

  • Tailed Dragonborns. The most pure of their species, closest relative to their draconian ancestor.

  • Conventional Dragonborns. The standard purity of dragonborns

  • Human-like Dragonborns. Some Dragonborns will resemble humans or draconic sorcerers more then a dragon after generations of diluting.
