The creature looks like a 7-foot tall lizard centaur, with large flat feet and long tail. Its dragon-like head is rimmed with horns.

The dracons are a centaur-like race, with the lower body of a brontosaur, a humanoid torso, and a dragon-like head. Their hands have six claw-tipped digits (five fingers and a thumb). Dracons speak the language of dragons.

Combat
Dracons have stylized dueling codes they use among themselves when conflict erupts, but do not offer them to non-dracons. They use swords in combat, but also carry halberds for formal duels and as a ceremonial tool. In addition to their natural weapons, dracons are adept in holds and wrestling.

Dracon Society
Dracons follow a strong herd instinct—a lone dracon is a rarity. The leader of a dracon herd is called a kaba. Kaba are chosen based on a complicated system of kinship relations. The kaba is assisted by the high priest, or shalla. The shalla is often a cleric, and there will be one for every 30 dracons in the herd.

In the Spheres
Dracon are newcomers to local wildspace. Their homeworld is a dry, arid planet covered with plains of fast-frowing grasses and desert. It also has large, shallow seas and at least one moon. Beyond this, not much is known.
Dracon mythology talks of a spider-like Dark God, their enemy and tempter. Their is a strong resemblance between this Dark God and the neogi, and the dracon hate these foul creatures in particular.
