PC Nickname: Dragon; NPC Nickname: Dwaggie

The Draconids control the Aquegon Empire from their home planet of Dracondos in the Dracondos System. They are considered to be the Aristocracy of the Aquegon Empire, a race of opportunistic adventurers, military men and women, and explorers. The Draconids resemble humanoid dragons. They have a scaly hide and tails that flow down to their feet. They are tall, with builds that range the gamut as humans do. Their coloring range from the colorful to the earthy in tone. Their hands and feet are talon-like claws, with four fingers and a thumb on each hand. They have no wings, but they tend to have hair. Some may even have a crest. Their eyes range from red and gold to blue and green.

The Draconids seem to be of three distinct races: The Aquegons -- which are blue in coloring and are sea dragons. The Rougions -- which are red to pink in coloring and typically make up some of the military. Finally, the Sauragons are typically earth-toned colored, ranging from gold and sandstone red to bronze and brown.
