Dragonkin are humanoid creatures believed to be distant cousins of dragons. Found in wild tribes or serving human masters, their brute strength and sharp claws make them a deadly threat.

Dragonkin are humanoids of 8 to 9 feet in height with draconic features. Their scaled hides range from dark yellow ocher to reddish brown with darker spots or bands. Their faces are decidedly dragonlike, with a long snout, a mane of thick hair, and small horns swept back behind their heads. They have green wings that lighten to gold or yellow, or sometimes wings that match the color of their bodies.

Dragonkin speak Draconic.

Dragonkin prefer to fight in the air, swooping down to slash earthbound opponents with their foreclaws. If forced to bring combat to the ground, dragonkin move in and use their claws or weapons (they favor longspears and other reach weapons). Most dragonkin have a strong desire to acquire magic items (perhaps inherited from their ancestors) and tend to attack characters possessing such items in preference to others. If possible, a dragonkin grabs a magic item from its opponent and flees with it, taking the item back to its cave.

===Dragonkin in Faerun===
(Apart from this paragraph, the lore in Monsters of Faerun is identical to the Draconomicon lore repeated above.)

The Cult of the Dragon has managed to gain control over a few dragonkin tribes; it imposes some small amount of discipline on their society in exchange for teaching the dragonkin additional combat skills and providing a steady supply of magic trinkets. They serve as warriors to protect the wide-ranging interests of the Cult.
