Interbreeding and dragons


Lost Omens Campaign Setting General Discussion

Silver Crusade

First off, I've noticed that a half dragon template can be applied to pretty much anything.

This makes me wonder, can dragons interbreed with one another?

I think they touched on it before. If you go digging around the Advice? thread I think there was one already.


Yes. Simple answer.

So if a metallic and chromatic interbred, what would the result be?

A dragon with the half-dragon template.

I mean alignment, personality (general temperament), and appearance wise, not mechanics.

It would probably depend on which parent raised said Half Dragon/Dragon.

That's not something mechanics really can cover; what would determine that would be the needs of the story you're trying to tell. As with any NPC.

Well, given that I don't think such hybridization would occur willingly... it would likely be the mother (who was likely the metallic dragon) would end up raising them. Unless of course, the chromatic male kept her prisoner as a breeding slave.

However temperament is more than just upbringing... And if the parents are predisposed to certain alignments, what does that mean for their offspring?

Another thing, what exactly would they look like, coloration wise?

Like would a red/silver hybrid be a short of shiny pearly pink?

Hmm deja vu. Do people search for previous threads?

Can take a while if you don't know where to search.

I did search, -_-

I don't even know what title to look for or what keywords to put in. It's easier to just ask.

I agree with Snowfang. It's easier to ask. If you can't be bothered to answer or help, just simply don't responnd to the post.

A search for "hybrid dragon" pulled this thread up.

Lots of decent speculation from about a month ago.
