@TheEdVerse Good evening! There’s been debate among my fanbase regarding Dragons in Faerûn after my character gave birth to Half-Dragon children so I wanted to ask: Are Dragons classified as reptiles by scholars in the Realms or do they have their own classification eg. Draconic?

Thankfully we have a handy dandy chart for this. Dragons are straight Ys down the board, while Kobolds and Lizardfolk are significantly more restricted in terms of cross-species compatibility. Thus we can assume that Dragons are significantly different from reptiles on that basis

Thank you!
Yes, sages and scholars in the Realms who know what they're speaking or writing about classify dragons ("draco") as distinct from reptiles but somehow related (they share sufficient characteristics to suggest a distant ancestry no one alive today knows).

To quote Torm of the Knights of Myth Drannor: "Did she buy the eggs a drink first?"
