¶ Dracons
Dracons only recently appeared on the fringes of Wildspace, but their ships have quickly become a fixture throughout the vast Astral Sea. The dracons are commonly thought of as dragon-centaurs, although that description isn't very accurate. Their upper torso resembles that of a dragonborn but is gray in color. Their hands are talon-like claws with six fingers on each hand. The dracon's lower torso is broad and thick, resembling an elephant with a long, wide tail. Dracons surprise many people with the grace and speed with which they can move.
Dracons are a herd race, traveling in packs usually composed of family members. A dracon will adopt non-dracons if they are without a family of their own and are fiercely protective of them. It surprises many that dracons are primarily a pacifist race. They prefer to talk things out and will run away if the fighting becomes too intense. This does not mean they cannot defend themselves, as they are masters of close contact fighting, employing a form of grappling passed down through the centuries.
