Drakoshans are humanoids with draconic blood in their veins. On average, they stand 1.9 meters (6.2’) tall and weigh 125 kg (276 lbs), with females being slightly larger and heavier. Their pupils can be rounded or slit vertically and are generally yellow or orange. They are usually solidly built, and all have draconic features: dragon-like heads, scales of an endless variety of colors and hues, and talon-like hands and feet. Some, but not all, have horns of various shapes and sizes, spines and frills webbed by skin, wings, and tails.
Drakoshans can live 500 to 700 years and, like many of draconic heritage, are highly intelligent and have an innate passion for knowledge and power. However, most are taught at a young age to put their family before all else; subsequently, the majority live and die by their family. Their societies tend to be militaristic, with a clear hierarchy of stations and positions. Drakoshans are honorable by nature and tend to devote themselves entirely to perfecting a skill or completing a task, as their success or failure is seen as a direct reflection of their family.
Because of their draconic blood, intelligence, and tendency to excel at whatever they set their minds to, most drakoshans see other races as inferior (save for dragons, of course). They are native to the continent of Draykh-Nahka and found predominantly in the and its subordinate peripheries.
