Dragonborn resemble humanoid dragons, but are slightly bigger than most other races, standing between 6 and 7 feet tall. In fact, their very appearance gives an impression of virtuous purpose. Most dragonborn have very fine scales over most of their body, becoming larger towards their extremities, and are typically scarlet, gold, rust, ochre, bronze, or brown. Rarely do an individual’s scales match the hue of a chromatic or metallic dragon, and scale color gives no indication of the type of breath weapon a dragonborn uses. A dragonborn’s head features a blunt snout, a strong brow, and distinctive frills at the cheek and ear. Behind the brow, a crest of hornlike scales of various lengths resembles thick, ropy hair. Their eyes are shades of red or gold.Male Names: Arjhan, Bharash, Ghesh, Heskan, Nadarr, Rhogar, Torinn.
Female Names: Akra, Biri, Kava, Mishann, Nala, Raiann, Sora, Surina.
