I had half-dragons in my original Realms (pre-D&D), but "dragonborn" in either of the versions still official in the game aren't my creations. I believe TSR staffers and later WotC staffers crafted them.

@TheEdVerse I have a question, assuming you had a hand in their creation. What were some of the inspirations for the culture of the Dragonborn, how their clans are structured, and their hierarchy? I love how their natural "good" nature is contrasted with a warrior culture.

My friends and I have been debating and we need to know: If a dragonborn (or half-dragon) is born from a dragon mother, I'm assuming they come from an egg. But what if they come from a human mother? Do they still come out in an egg? Or do they come out like human babies do?

They come out like human babies do, except that the newborn is wrapped in a caul (thin but tough translucent pearly-gray porous membrane; the baby CAN breathe through it, if no one tears it). So: flexible eggshell covering of sorts. #realmslore

I wrote a fantasy book that had half dragon people of elves, humans, Orcs and are called Dracmoths with many different colors. I always liked that idea. Even the main character has a bronze dragon coloring, but he got it a DIFFERENT way lol

I do like the theming of half dragons and i love when they show up. Like the first to be the son / daughter of a dragon? Before many years down the line the scorc gets their bloodline power?? Thats cool to me
