"Trogdor was a man!
I mean, he was a dragon-man!
Or... maybe he was just a dragon.
...
And the Trogdor comes in the night!"

-The Brothers Chaps, "Trogdor". 2003.

Draconians are the mythical half-dragon inhabitants of the Realm of Zot. Each draconian has a colour, and some have occupations as well; the different colors determine their draconian breath attacks, while the occupations determine their equipment, skills, and spells.

Draconian Colours & Breath Attacks

Draconian Occupations

q Draconian caller- Obnoxious summoners who call up hordes of drakes and dragons.

q Draconian knight- Skilled with both weapons and spells, draconian knights are competent opponents.

q Draconian scorcher- Pyromaniac casters with access to both fire and hellfire.
