Indeed, Dracart wished to destroy all the female dragon eggs in order to prevent a future rebellion by the draconians. However, it was known by at least one man (Dracart) that female dragon eggs yielded female draconians. Until the Chaos War, many believed draconians to be sexless. They have green blood, as it is based in copper rather than the iron-based red blood of most other species. Baaz draconians turn to stone Kapak draconians dissolve into pools of acid (releasing clouds of poisonous fumes) the scales of Bozak draconians dissolve, leaving just their bones which then explode Aurak draconians are consumed by magical flames. Fighting them is difficult due to their large size, natural toughness, and magical abilities, including magical death throes that vary depending on the type of draconian killed. Draconians are reptilian creatures most of which have small wings on their backs. Baaz were created from brass dragon eggs, Bozaks from bronze, Kapaks from copper, Sivaks from silver, and Auraks from gold. There are many types of draconians, depending on the type of metallic dragon egg that was corrupted to produce them. Even though both male and female draconians were created at the same time, the existence of the female draconians was concealed. They were supposed to be more predictable than humans, and more tractable than ogres or goblins. This process was first performed on bronze dragon eggs.ĭraconians were created to serve as specialists or shock troops in the Dark Queen's army. A Brass Dragon's egg can produce as many as twenty draconians, whilst a Gold Dragon's egg will only yield two draconians at most. This ritual causes the subject egg to produce a number of draconian hatchlings dependent upon the type of egg. Historyĭraconians are created through the use of a powerful and undetailed spell, the exact workings of which are unknown all is known is that the process requires the spittle of a Chromatic Dragon, an evil Arcane spellcaster and a Cleric of Takhisis (who cast the spell in tandem) and the egg of a Metallic Dragon. ĭraconians appeared in fourth edition in Draconomicon: Metallic Dragons (2009), including the Adamaaz (adamantine), Ferak (iron), and Kobaaz (cobalt). ĭraconians were further detailed in third edition in Dragon 339 (January 2006). They subsequently appeared in Dragonlance Adventures (1987).ĭraconians appeared in the second edition in the Monstrous Compendium Dragonlance Appendix (1990), and the Tales of the Lance boxed set (1992).
